I hate my voice. I've never been comfortable singing.

I project love, music and love, and I pray for peace. A good song cuts straight to the heart; sometimes it doesn't need to be too many lines - of course, I do love a good story.

When I was young, I used to go to Baha'i camp, and they taught me a lot about the equality of religions.

Bringing the individual into it music only distracts from the universal and makes it trivial. And then it's easy to wash your hands of it because you might not be from their background, or you might disagree with their personal perspective. So you discount it and go back into your corner instead of coming out and engaging with everything.

That's what I mean by "Western morality," is the lack of morality. There is none. People are out for themselves, and they'll stab you in the back.

People just wanna see someone talking about themselves constantly. I'm not interested in that.

A lot of religious texts make for good reading. That's why they hold up.
