When you struggle to reach for something you don't know, that's where most of the interesting stuff is.

I don't look at music from the standpoint of being a musician; I look at it from the standpoint of being a human being.

Getting the Oscar had the biggest impression on me.

Each human being exists because there's something they have to offer for the evolution of the universe that only they can fulfill.

Of course, it's not the technique that makes the music; it's the sensitivity of the musician and his ability to be able to fuse his life with the rhythm of the times. This is the essence of music.

Since time is a continuum, the moment is always different, so the music is always different.

There's so much spontaneity involved, what do you practice? How do you practice teamwork? How do you practice sharing? How do you practice daring? How do you practice being nonjudgmental?
