Consistency is the enemy of enterprise, just as symmetry is the enemy of art.

Art is the uniting of the subjective with the objective, of nature with reason, of the unconscious with the conscious, and therefore art is the highest means of knowledge.

Music is art, and art is important and rare. Important, rare things are valuable. Valuable things should be paid for.

I love to draw pencil, ink pen. I love art. When I go on tour and visit museums in Holland, Germany, or England, you know those huge paintings? I'm just amazed. You don't think a painter could do something like that. I can look at a piece of sculpture or a painting and totally lose myself in it.

I am committed to my art. I believe that all art has as its ultimate goal the union between the material and the spiritual, the human and the divine. I believe that to be the reason for the very existence of art. And I feel I was chosen as an instrument to just give music and love and harmony to the world. To children of all ages, and adults and teenagers.... I love people of all races from my heart, with true affection.

Without art, the crudeness of reality would make the world unbearable.
