The most valuable possession you can own is an open heart. The most powerful weapon you can be is an instrument of peace.

Music rearranges your molecular structure.

Everything is a battlefield. If you fight with anger, you are part of the problem. If you fight with joy, you're part of the solution.

If you carry joy in your heart, you can heal any moment.

Live up to your convictions. You walk in grace or you walk in fear. You can't have it both ways.

When you fly to New York, sometimes they put you on hold and you just go round and around in a holding pattern. Sometimes in a concert, I feel other spirits in a holding pattern that they want to land through my heart and through my fingers.

My job in this life is to give people spiritual ecstasy through music. In my concerts people cry, laugh, dance. If they climaxed spiritually, I did my job. I did it decently and honestly.
