I did not start IC and Inteam to have control over my music. I had control before and after.

Because, also the world of showbiz is not just black and white, good and bad.

The human voice is the first and most natural musical instrument, also the most emotional.

As always in a musical collaboration: One has to like each other. As simple as that.

Everything changes permantly. How boring if it wouldn't.

I never had many problems to do my music and to give it to a record company. Rarely do they try to argue with me about my music, probably because it's still too far-out.

Every music - except dance music, which is for dancing, I suppose - is for the spirit of the human being, and not for the body.

A concert is a concert is a concert is a concert. An album is an album is an album is an album. Musically, both have nothing in common.

As everyone else, I was a fan of Pink Floyd in the sixties.

And of course, the musician - if he's serious - always answers: My last album is my best, otherwise I wouldn't have done it.

We are all part of a tradition, at least we depend on the past.

All suffering is caused by one belief....the belief in separation

Those who are arrogant and controlling are determined to cling to spoken words but peaceful hearts are unafraid to go deeper beneath the surface.

A major celebrity is a major brand, and major brands pick very critically what other brands they're going to associate with. So an A-list celebrity usually picks an A-list brand.

Work hard at everything you do. Never give up. Never quit. Many people have talents but without the hard work you won't get anywhere.

I don't want to be without God's blessings.

When someone's running late through an airport, I hope they miss their flight so they can meet the love of their life at the duty free shop.

I was 16-years-old when I appeared on 'American Idol,' and the show was my boot camp. It was a crazy, stressful at times, experience.

Food, clothes and shelter have no politics.

People don't really think other people are the same.

Get really rich and then help the people who didn't have the opportunity you did.
