I always wanted my music to influence the life you were living emotionally - with your family, your lover, your wife, and, at a certain point, with your children.

Music used to be a more personal thing, and it defined who you were. Now it's like wallpaper.

When I was a kid growing up in the '60s, music was an outlet for enlightenment, frustration, rebellion. It was more about individualism. Today it's just like a big business.

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

Music used to change people's minds - and it still changes mine.

My music is all about an idealistic human personality. I have 19th-century ideals.

I'd just like to inspire people to be themselves and do what they want and not conform to the rigid guidelines of the music or entertainment business.

Music is there to enrich your life and make you aware of things in a slightly different way.

Music, which should pulsate with life, needs new means of expression, and science alone can infuse it with youthful vigor.

We all had a desire and appreciation for such a wide range of music.
