Music speaks from spirit to spirit and in that sense you could call it a true spiritual language.

I believe everybody is spiritual and no one is any more spiritual than anyone else.

The music dictates to me which instrument I use. I'm basically waiting for orders as it were.

In a certain sense, these were lessons I learned by playing with Indian musicians. The rhythmic forms that they use are very complex, and very challenging. In order to play in fifteen, or eleven, or seven or even five, you have to have mastered that time in order to be able to be free with the music.

I never read comics growing up. I didn't have money and I don't like to touch paper.

Interplay and interaction are the integral parts of music - they're as important as the notes.

When the music arrives in my mind, it gives me the direction and the form at the same time. It's integrated into the music itself.
