I believe that when the going gets tough, you should just hit pause. Assimilate what is happening for 10 minutes. Your thoughts will be much clearer.

To me,music is oxygen & I know that someday even if I can’t sing,I can always continue listening to it.

I learnt to sing in Bengali, my mother tongue, then went on to sing in Hindi, Telugu, Tamil, Gujarati and every possible Indian language.

I have to say that my biggest Award is performing in front of my fans. Their love is my award.

If you strive for excellence, success will follow

I like my father being the boss in my life

Titles or awards are not the mark of your success. They are the beginning of a life-long sadhana.

I actually have a lot of couples coming & telling me that one of my songs was instrumental in strengthening their romance.

As someone who worships music, I believe it can never be ugly!

There is a very big forgiving side in me that keeps me very light in my heart and happy.

I truly get very emotional when I am performing and see their (Fans) love for me.

When we are collecting books, we are collecting happiness.

. . .though the names of lovers are forgotten in time, their nameswritten across the sky as ogham threads are tracedbetween the stars

A human who learns, and practices the art of love as does divinity, is no longer human.

I'm an invisible monster. I'm incapable of loving anybody. You don't know which is worse.

The calm serenity of the breeze as it blows across the ocean releases the tangled web within my mind.

Everybody past a certain age, regardless of how they look on the outside, pretty much constantly dreams of being able to escape from their lives.

If some great catastrophe is not announced every morning, we feel a certain void. Nothing in the paper today, we sigh.

a man there was, though some did count him mad, the more he cast away the more he had.

Everyone should be able to make art about ideas without getting cornered into self-art.

Honestly, it was pretty challenging working with a talking raccoon.
