The value of music is not dazzling yourself and others with technique.

I am not fundamentally a musician, I am fundamentally a human being.

I've been a religious, spiritual person for a long time.

But I have to be careful not to let the world dazzle me so much that I forget that I'm a husband and a father.

It's part of life to have obstacles. It's about overcoming obstacles; that's the key to happiness.

In the past, there's always been one leader that has led the pack to development of the music.

I feel a lot more secure about the directions I take, than I might have, had I not practiced Buddhism.
