I am becoming the people I love.

I realised a long time ago that instrumental music speaks a lot more clearly than English, Spanish, Yiddish, Swahili, any other language. Pure melody goes outside time.

You cannot behave appropriately, unless you perceive correctly. Once you perceive you are a beam of Light, that comes from the mind of God, you will carry yourself differently.

I have come to the conclusion - and I don't know why it took me so long, but nevertheless, I'm here now - that a lot of people tell me they don't get enough guitar on my albums. So I decided to do an album where the guitar would be the singer, playing the melody.

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!

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

I am becoming the people I love.
