I come to sing for the people, not for the government. God made the sunshine for everyone and made the moon for everyone. We have to follow his example so we have to play music for everyone too. We have a message, and in order for our message to reach the people, we have to play.

I don't like to do things for any other reason than it happens spontaneously or there's something that makes it happen naturally. I don't like putting down too many plans and trying to do a strategy to get a certain response or a certain effect.

There's more to life than physical and material.

I think Americans should have a policy of love. That should be the foreign policy, love. Export Love.

I think parents today are looking for meaningful things for their kid. It's about feeding them something with meaning.

As an artist, I feel that my father's biggest influence is me realizing that music has a purpose and it's not just for business and that music is spiritual. I get that from him that music is a spiritual thing.

Children are wonderful, and they add to my whole life.
