I guess everyone has their own definition of what folk is or pop or whatever. I find it incredibly hard to describe music these days.

I think sometimes I get overly excited about adding things and having new ideas. You forget that more isn't always better.

I think there is a fascination with choral music in general.

People digest and process music differently, and I'm sure that was the case even when I was a kid.

It is definitely much easier to feel that an album is disposable - to dismiss an album or delete the tracks you don't like or to just throw it into shuffle or whatever.

I would never be angry at someone for downloading the album. Sometimes people just wanna listen to it first to see if they like it and that's totally fair.

One of my favorite things is when I'm listening to a song and I find my own meaning in it that I can relate to and I can create my own relationship and bond with the song.

My mother was a music teacher and my grandfather was a professor of music, and there was a lot of singing in the family. It wasn't like trained singing or anything like that, but it was singing.

If you really wanna be a part of my life, you will get wet with the rain of tweets, be ready for that too. With love yours soulmate.

What you look for in the world influences what materializes. What you perceive in the people around you influences how they show up.

When you do exams you never want to be the one who finishes first and you never want to be the one who finishes last.

I've never worried about being rich or famous - for me, it's all about the dancing.

Artistic imagination must remain free. It is by definition free from any fidelity to circumstances, especially to the intoxicating circumstances of history.

Red tape has killed more people than bullets.

There's one thing that I like about Rome that was stated by Napoleon: that from sublime to pathetic is only one step away. And in Rome there's a constant shifting between sublime and pathetic.

Have you noticed that the cleverest people at school are often not the ones who succeed in life?

It's weird. People want you to know that they write. They want you to know they're a musician, rather than making music or making stories. It's the strangest thing.

The most beautiful, perhaps the only true philosophical song existing in any known tongue ....perhaps the deepest and loftiest thing the world has to show.
