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.

The music had to be rooted, and yet had to branch out,like the wild imagination of a child.

The idea of music is to liberate the listener and lead him to a frame where he feels he is elevated.

Your best success comes after your greatest disapponitment

My biggest dream to connect people through music has come true. In a world where there are enough reasons to separate us, the Oscars have unified us.

Certain things are done intentionally opposite - like there's no sound at the end or synthesizers or all that stuff. Anything that drowns the movie, no. Anything that makes you sit up and watch it, yes. So, some are expecting a very sad theme going on.

There is only one of the two that can reside in our hearts, GOD or ego. If GOD is in ego is out.
