You don't expect music to be brilliant when the films are so bad.

In the early days I used to rely on a personal system of notations where the letters on high notes kept rising above the line. But that really called for extra long sheets. But you don't need notations in Indian music really. You need them when you're using harmony.

I dropped out of NYU, moved out of my parent's house, got my own place, and survived on my own. I made music and worked my way from the bottom up.

The key to longevity is to learn every aspect of music that you can.

There's this thing called compulsory licensing law that allows artists through the record companies to take your music at will without your permission.

Rock and roll music, if you like it, if you feel it, you can't help but move to it. That's what happens to me; I can't help it.
