The real aim of music is to co-ordinate the minds of the people into an intelligent reach for a better world and an intelligent approach to the living future.

But recently I began to feel that maybe I wouldn't be able to do what I want to do and need to do with American musicians, who are imprisoned behind these bars; music's got these bars and measures you know.

The music is not part of this planet in a sense that the spirit of it is about happiness. Most musicians play earth things about what they know, but I found out that they are mostly unhappy and frustrated, and that creeps over into their music.

If you’re not mad at the world, you don’t have what it takes

In the world of tomorrow, the new man will 'think' the place he wants to go, then his mind will take him there.

I'm not into division. I'm into coordination, discipline and tradition.

Music is not material. Music is Spiritual.
