I really believe in the power of music.

I think the most important thing about music is the sense of escape.

I believe in music because it has the power of change.

I think music has the power to transform people, and in doing so, it has the power to transform situations - some large and some small.

To me, music has to be about freedom. It's the most important thing in my life.

I really believe in the power of music - and I mean literally the power of musical tones - to rearrange the way you can think.

Music is the most powerful form of communication in the world. It brings us all together. Even religion separates us, but a hit record unites us across religious beliefs, race, politics.

Music is one of the most powerful things the world has to offer. No matter what race or religion or nationality or sexual orientation or gender that you are, it has the power to unite us.

Music bears a great responsibility because it is so influential. Everybody listens to music. It is a very influential tool. To me, it is very important to the world... music is... to being... to life.

I don't find music being less important than, like, politics.
