If a musician wants to blossom into a full-fledged person, it's not enough if he knows only classical music; nor it is enough if he's well-versed only in raagas and techniques. Instead, he should be a knowledgeable person interested in life and philosophy. In his personal life there should be, atleast in some corner of his heart, a tinge of lingering sorrow.
A. R. RahmanThere have been predictions that the world will come to an end on 21.12.12. But I look around me and I see so much scope for hope.
A. R. RahmanI love classical music. I love a lot of musicians playing together and the whole culture of that, whether it's Indian or it's Western.
A. R. RahmanI was a common man, and I will always remain a common man. No amount of stardom will ever consume my soul. Money comes, money goes. Fame comes, fame goes. I believe every human being is a celebrity in their own right.
