I actually started as a singer in Brooklyn, and I lived in a community. To get out of the ghetto of my community, I was a musician.

I never became primarily a musician! I've always been a wanderer and I'm always bored.

Not that I have anything against music now, but I just hated being an anything. I don't know why.

People never heard bells in Western music sounding really cataclysmic. You hear that more in Russian music or in Asian, Indonesian traditions.

I'm not afraid to be a Russian Jewish romantic in my approach to anything, even in my animal divinities, or anything about the feeling.

My music education was oral. I was resistant to scores and things like that. In Jewish religious music, there are no scores. You learn everything by rote, by ear, by repeating.

I never wanted to have a profession, and I've succeeded in not having one, or if I did have one it never paid, or it's never been especially long-term.

There are some people who love being a something, but I also got the gist in the 60's when I grew up that you could be, in the art scene, very diverse.

I never made any money from my music. I don't make that much; I make it flip-flopping between five and ten different disciplines.

I hung around hippie-ish kind of people and, first of all, they never made any money. If you never make any money, you never have to declare any profession!

There are pieces that in the history of music that also make me cry. I'm not ashamed to cry.

Humans are naturally scared and confused beings. They not only fear the unknown, as they live fearing themselves... ☥

Dear Church, everyone is broken, stop pretending like you're not.

As long as there are rich people who have poor people they can send to fight their wars.. We will never have peace

When playing music, it is possible to achieve a unique sense of peace.

We serve the world by finding out what feeds us, and, having been fed, then share our gifts with others.

I like how strong Sade is and how she doesn't give away too much.

Few men make themselves masters of the things they write or speak.

You have to be unique, and different, and shine in your own way.

Modernistic-Abstractionist-Art consists of 75% explanation and 25% God knows what!

I eat whatever I want. I can get away with it. There are some strict regiment eatings, but I don't follow them.
