I'm not interested in meeting people's expectations, and I'm not interested in pleasing people.

Everything's very perfectly balanced; for all the horrible things in the world there's lots of good things.

You are free. Close your eyes. Open your mind. Let this music in, and you will see that this is true

As long as you're excited about what you're playing, and as long as it comes from your heart, it's going to be great.

Because I'm pure inside, the music that comes out of me is a life-giving thing. Like water.

Make sure you stay in touch with beauty instead of letting the ugliness of the world corrupt your soul

For me, living and making music, they're one thing. It's not like a job that I go to a studio to do, or a chore that I have to get myself in the mood to do, or something. It's the thing that I need to do every day.
