The thing that I've always been slightly frustrated with, was that the idea of a CD is kind of confined to a material possession that you can put on a shelf. And the idea of music, for me, is always about both the communication and the sharing of content. And so the interactive part is missing.

Passion is one great force that unleashes creativity, because if you're passionate about something, then you're more willing to take risks.

I think one of the great things about being a musician is that you never stop learning.

After reaching 50, I began to wonder what the root of life is.

When you learn something from people, or from a culture, you accept it as a gift, and it is your lifelong commitment to preserve it and build on it.

Culture opens our hearts to one another. And the currency in culture is not money, but trust.

Sharing is a much better way to communicate than proving.
