It's been my dream since I was a child to somehow unite people of the world through love and music.

My goal in life is to give to the world what I was lucky to receive: the ecstasy of divine union through my music and my dance.

When you're singing you can hear the echo of people in the audience singing every single word with you, and that was that big dream that I had for myself. It's happening.

For some people, fame kills it and becomes more important than the music or the performance. But for me fame is like rocket fuel. The more my fans like what I'm doing, the more I want to give back to them. And my passion is so strong I can't sleep - I haven't slept for three days.

That's the problem with a lot of things these days. Everything is too full now; we are spoon-fed everything. All songs are about one thing and one thing specifically, there is no shading, no nuance, no mystery. Perhaps this is why music is not a place where people put their dreams at the moment; dreams suffocate in these airless environs.

My driving philosophy about making music is that you can reduce it all down to one note if that note is played with the right kind of sincerity.
