I am trying to teach my children to feel a responsibility for their fellow human beings and a sense of connection with ... the world around them.

Later in life, the memories I have of my mother are of constant work balanced with caring for my ailing father.

I think that the only way to teach is by example, as children will more easily follow what they see you do than what you tell them to do.

I was going to be a doctor, but I think my music allowed me to help more people than I could have done one-on-one as a psychologist. Just like other people's music really helped me.

I'm a writer and this is what I love to do.

I think the business of music has really taken a huge hit. There's no doubt about it. But an artist is always going to produce their art, their music. They're going to paint, they're going to write.

One of the most beautiful things we can give our child is music education.
