To me music is the centre of the universe and the voice of the spirits and the voice of God and the voice of all the people who have lived and died...At least the ones I'm connected to.

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.

You gotta constantly purify yourself, living in the city, around human beings. There might be people close to you who affect you inside yourself in such a corrupt way that it screws with your ability to do what you do. But if you make sure that the people who are close you are good people who are there for you and love you, you can create your temple everywhere you go.

But for me if I'm gonna read about something I'd rather read a pamphlet or the instructions to a synthesizer than a book on Buddhism.

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

Sometimes it takes just living your life a certain way to be able to open yourself to the rhythm of the cosmos.

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