Quote

Today we are in a war against war - music is our power.

With sad music, or music that's perceived as sad, there's a sense of solidarity that can be really powerful. My songs are all joyful to me.

Music has the power to bring people together like no other art form.

Music is very spiritual, it has the power to bring people together.

I really believe in the power of music.

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.

I am convinced that music, like philanthropy, bridges hope.

If we have any hope for survival of the music that we all love, compassion must replace name-calling, fairness must replace greed, and we need to come together as a musical community and try to understand each other's problems.

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.

If there's anything that would unite the world, it would be music.
