QUOTES

"The arts have always served relationships between people of different cultures so well. In a way, the arts function as a very serious kind of ambassador.

Creativity and artistic endeavors have a mission that goes far beyond just making music for the sake of music.

One of the most important things is that what I am is not a musician. That's what I do. That's not what I am. What I am is a human being and what I do is play music.

But, the truth is that everyone is somebody already.

By contrast, wisdom captivates people's hearts and has the power to open a new age.

I look for what's of value and extract that. I don't look to criticize.

It is people's hearts that move the age.

Music is the tool to express life - and all that makes a difference.

We are eternally linked not just to each other but our environment.

We can all be ourselves, be true to ourselves, and all be together.

Wisdom is the key to understanding the age, creating the time.

Without wisdom, the future has no meaning, no valuable purpose.

You can practice to attain knowledge, but you can't practice to attain wisdom.

You don't need the fame to be vital.

You would not exist if you did not have something to bring to the table of life.
