I love the voice - it’s the most perfect instrument ever heard. It’s God given.

If music wakes you up, makes you think, heals you...then, I guess the music is working.

While other creators make a big show of their art Mani Sir makes it look as though anyone can do what he does.

Be original and find your inner voice. The rest will follow.

Sometimes I intentionally cut it off. I just want to be in silence, especially when I'm traveling. I watch movies without sound.

After a point of time, when you get success and fame, money and everything, the purpose of life has to be redefined. For me, I think that purpose is to build bridges. Artists can do that very easily, more than politicians.

The more you know the less you talk.
