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.

You are not realistic unless you believe in miracles!

I'm laughing because I know the secret of life. And the secret of life is that I have validated my existence. I know that I am worth more than my house, my bank account, or any physical thing.

I can show you that I have played with just about every jazz musician, every African musician, every blues musician. It's not like I'm cashing in on a false concept. This is what I do.

I am here to give voice to the invisible.

One day there will be no borders, no boundaries, no flags and no countries and the only passport will be the heart

I think of music as a menu. I can't eat the same thing every day.
