My music is the spiritual expression of what I am: my faith, my knowledge, my being.

There is never any end... There are always new sounds to imagine; new feelings to get at. And always, there is the need to keep purifying these feelings and sounds so that we can really see what we've discovered in its pure state.

I've always felt that even though a man was not a Christian, he still has to know the truth some way or another. Or if he was a Christian, he could know the truth. The truth itself doesn't have any name on it to me. And each man has to find this for himself, I think.

We should pray and seek for knowledge which would enable us to portray and project the things we love in music, in a way that might wholly or in some part, be appreciated as having been conceived and composed or performed and presented with dedication and in positive taste

Sometimes I think I was making music through the wrong end of a magnifying glass.

I'd like to point out to people the divine in a musical language that transcends words. I want to speak to their souls.

Don't ever get so big or important that you can not hear and listen to every other person.
