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

The best part of touring, still, is touching people's hearts and igniting my band and igniting the people into what you call a spiritual revelation is sound and emotion.

There is no greater reward than working from your heart and making a difference in the world.

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.

My reality is that God speaks to you every day. There's an inner voice, and when you hear it, you get a little tingle in your medulla oblongata at the back of your neck, a little shiver, and at two o'clock in the morning, everything's really quiet and you meditate and you got the candles, you got the incense and you've been chanting, and all of a sudden you hear this voice: Write this down. It is just an inner voice, and you trust it. That voice will never take you to the desert.

First of all, the music that people call Latin or Spanish is really African. So Black people need to get the credit for that.

Your mind is a magnet. You don't attract what you need or what you want; you attract who you are. And I love who I am!
