Ben Gillies Quotes
Music has pretty much taken over my life. I told my dad I wanted to play in a band and make lots of money. He told me I should get out of my fantasy world because it was a million-to-one chance. Now when I'm playing guitar or drums and he tells me to go do my studies, I tell him I can't--because I'm working. He just looks at me, shakes his head, laughs, and says, 'You lucky bastard.'
