I always hope that my music can inspire someone, the same way other artists inspire me.

When you begin to see the possibilities of music, you desire to do something good for people, to help humanity free itself from its hang-ups.

There are moments when great music can be the greatest service and charity.

Actually, I feel music becoming more and more important. It's a big source of inspiration. With what's going on in the world, we feel almost desperate. Music also brings you peace.

As a person, I'm not that hopeful, but somehow the hopeful part of me reveals itself through my songs.

I have learned that music helps a lot of people survive, and they want songs that can give them something - I guess you could call it hope.

I think my philosophy in music has been to accentuate the positive.

Music can be healing, and with my history and my knowledge of both sides of what looks like a gigantic divide in the world, I feel I can point a way forward to our common humanity again.

I'm inspired by music. Sometimes more than I want to be.

Music has always been an important thing to me in my life and understand I've worked in the music business.
