One reason I avoid the American TV talk show circuit, when I'm over there, is that the tabloids and the gossip mill are always churning with new, true, or untrue stories about new loves, old loves, pending marriages, divorces, trial separations, flings and affairs with people of every description. I'm not into any of that.

To put your full belief in your Guru, because it's for your own good, because you've decided that... It's just having a lot of respect for the person and it's like that with music as well...You should love your instrument and respect it.

Let me tell you how it will be. There's one for you, nineteen for me. Cause I'm the taxman.

I've always wanted to lead an ordered, relatively conventional and private life.

Love one another (His last words)

So it's really a process of actually having a realization of God, which all becomes clear with the expanded state of consciousness that develops when you chant.

Music should be used for the perception of God, not jitterbugging.
