There is no passion to be found playing small - in settling for a life that is less than the one you are capable of living.

Soon as I could play one guitar chord and laid my ear upon that wood, I was gone. My soul was sold. Music was everything from then on.

If I had my life to live over again, I would have made a rule to read some poetry and listen to some music at least once a week.

Everybody has that point in their life where you hit a crossroads and you've had a bunch of bad days and there's different ways you can deal with it and the way I dealt with it was I just turned completely to 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.

A star can never die. It just turns into a smile and melts back into the cosmic music, the dance of life.
