Music has many uses and I think the most perfected use that music has is one of a healing quality.

To me, human existence exists on a multiple level, not just on a two-dimensional level, not just having to be identified with what you do and what you say.

Originally, I wanted to be a composer. I always tell people, 'I think of myself as a composer.

I don't really live like a musician myself. I think music is just something that I do, but I'd like to be doing lots of other things. I like to cure all kinds of illness.

It seems the activity of expressing sound to do with music has just started blooming - and because of that, the beginners feel like they're professionals, and the professionals feel like they are beginners, which is very healthy.

For me, being an innovator doesn't mean being more intelligent, more rich, it's not a word, it's an action.

You've got to realize. In the western world, regardless of what color you are, what title the music is, it's all played by the same notes.
