I was a show-off as a kid. I was wearing bow ties and matching coloured trousers.

Strangely, I feel that I become increasingly reclusive in my normal life and more open and candid in my music.

I make mistakes. I say stupid things. I do idiotic things. And, quite frankly, I'm proud of them. Why not make mistakes?

I realize that of all people, I am no expert on parenting or marriage.

Sometimes I dress like what I want for lunch, because all I can think about is having a tuna sandwich.

The stage is my territory, my boxing ring. That's where I'm free.

Great poetry is always written by somebody straining to go beyond what he can do.

I wish you all a long and happy life

Ours is an age that's often obsessed with knowledge at the expense of wisdom.

In the presence of your Satguru, knowledge flourishes; sorrow diminishes; without any reason joy wells up; lack diminishes, abundance dawns and all talents manifest
