I often wish my mother had died so that at least I could get some people's sympathy. But there she was, a perfectly beautiful mother.

Music is like my security blanket.

Long, long time ago, I declared that all my works are a form of a prayer/a wish.

When I hear music, my body just starts to move. It has nothing to do with training or anything. That's just me. That's just my body. And I was like that as a child, too.

Life keeps getting better. If anything, you start to carry a certain pride in having survived all those years.

Artists are going to be the metronome of this society.

We artists have the dignity to tell the truth to the people, unlike politicians.
