Music is my life. It is sacred.

I kind of think that music in general is a sacred thing, and that's what music has kind of always been for me.

I love music passionately. And because I love it I try to free it from barren traditions that stifle it.

Music has always been a dominant force in my life. As a young kid, it was a way for me to escape everyday life.

Music is almost mystical to me. It really has an incredibly powerful force.

Music became a healer for me. And I learned to listen with all my being. I found that it could wipe away all the emotions of fear and confusion relating to my family.

The reason I play music is to touch people - for selfish reasons, as well. It feels good to make someone else feel something, whether it's a kiss, a painting, good idea or it's a song.

From an early age, I was infatuated with music. I always loved it and was always dancing or playing something.

I always felt a love for music, but I never got my nerve up enough to try a musical instrument in school.

I thought music could take you to a place where you didn't even feel ownership of it, you just felt lucky you were there. It's like church without God, or something. It's about feeling, hope and catharsis and things that are nurturing.
