I’m not a prophet. I’m a destiny-changer. It’s all right to prophesy, but the best thing to do is change things, if you’ve got the power.

I see people as they really are from a pure point of view.

What I'm dealing with is so vast and great that it can't be called the truth. It's above the truth.

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.

With music you can express any emotion, you can paint pictures.

And then when I went to Chicago, that's when I had these outer space experiences and went to the other planets.

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.
