The trouble with New Age music is that there's no evil in it.

I have lived in countries that were coming out of conflict: Ireland, South Africa, the Czech republic. People there are overflowing with energy.

Lyrics are always misleading because they make people think that that's what the music is about.

I have a definite talent for convincing people to try something new. I am a good salesman. When I'm on form, I can sell anything.

It's actually very easy for democracy to disappear.

Something I’ve realized lately, to my shock, is that I am an optimist, in that I think humans are almost infinitely capable of self-change and self-modification, and that we really can build the future that we want if we’re smart about it.
