We weren't raised Muslim - we were born Muslim. I didn't go to a Muslim school, but it was just the theme song. It was ambient.

The biggest problem with American music right now, is that kids don't listen. They come by it honestly, Americans don't listen anyway. When people go to concerts, they say I'm going to see... not, I'm going to hear.

I would like to be a terrorist for music education - to make a complete reform, all over the world.

It's kind of scary sometimes, I've seen this a lot in Asia. Children are given music lessons, very intensively I might add and involving great technical expertise sometimes, but you can tell that they have been told only to play happy pleasant music.

I'm a Muslim. I don't try to hide it. I'm also a girl who loves music.

You can enjoy many different types of music. I think that's something more Americans should think about.

I think we're about ready for a new feeling to enter music. I think that will come from the Arabic world.

I think music needs to be presented in a way so that kids can grasp songs, dances, simple music that's associated with some particular defining moment in human experience.

Some children's music is aimed just at kids, and it can be very childlike.

Kids these days don't know as much about music as they think they do.
