Listening is the key to everything good in music.

Listening is not just hearing what someone tells you word for word. You have to listen with a heart. I don't want that to sound touchy-feely; it is not. It is very hard work.

Listening moves us closer, it helps us become more whole, more healthy, more holy. Not listening creates fragmentation, and fragmentation is the root of all suffering.

I listen to everything.

Listening is a magnetic and strange thing, a creative force. The friends who listen to us are the ones we move toward. When we are listened to, it creates us, makes us unfold and expand.

There are many benefits to this process of listening. The first is that good listeners are created as people feel listened to. Listening is a reciprocal process - we become more attentive to others if they have attended to us.

Listening is a positive act: you have to put yourself out to do it.

One of the other things I think that I've been able to do in my life, is to listen well.

I'm a very strong believer in listening and learning from others.

I like to listen. I have learned a great deal from listening carefully. Most people never listen.
