Some people are old at 18 and some are young at 90. Time is a concept that humans created.

In the '60s we fought for peace, when the Vietnam war was on. We were against the cops and against the politicians, and there was a lot of waving banners and all that. And I think in a way, just as they were enjoying that machoism of war, we were enjoying the machismo of being anti-war, you know?

Peace is here now. It's just that we don't recognize it. Let's say that 98 percent of people in the world are wanting peace. Now people say, even people from Siberia? Yes. We want world peace. The two percent is really tying to mess it up. It's so sad in a way, because by messing it up what are they going to get? Their children are going to suffer, their grandchildren are going to suffer, and they might even die before something gets good.

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.

My heart is mysteriously alive in the world of sounds - a totally different dimension from the daily life.

But only art and music have the power to bring peace.

Each time we don't say what we wanna say, we're dying.
