I don’t pay attention to the world. I just have the art I like and the music I like and for me that’s the whole world

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

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.

When the intellectual part of guitar playing overrides the spiritual, you don't get to extreme heights.

All I know is that the six months when I recorded this music was the most productive time of my life, and I'll always remember it as the first time in my life that I ever felt like I was one with my dreams.

Yeah, I really like being alive. But I definitely don't have any intentions as an artist.
