The Devil is like a strainer that separates the mud from the gold.

The people of Arizona, the people of Atlanta, Georgia, you should be ashamed of yourselves.

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.

When my father passed away two or three years ago, I didnt listen to music for four days - thats a long time for me.

People are flowers. Music is water. Musicians are the hose.

All music is important if it comes from the heart.

Some musicians, man, you hear the note almost before they hit it. Jimi, Coltrane and Charlie Parker were like that.
