When I play, what I see are people who mean something to me, both positively and negatively. It's my private life, in a way, what I see, and this is what I share.

There are no musically untalented people.

The most unique thing about music making is sharing.

If an artist tells you "this is an oak tree," then it better be an oak tree. It's how you proclaim things; if you say "the silence is the music," then it's the music.

Musical talent is maybe something, but there are no unmusical people. You're moved by music. It's total rubbish to say, "Oh, I'm unmusical." It doesn't exist; it's ridiculous.

You never know what you're going to share. I can play, I know what is written - the marks, the things the composer tells me to do - and I do it, but it will still sound different each day.

I'm not good at texting because I'm an older generation, old school. And nobody ever listens to the answering machine anymore. It's terrible.

People can text with two hands and are so fast and I am not... I just have that one person I want to talk to.

I'm much better at saying something on the answering machine than texting.

I have one guy that I really have to talk to once a day, and if I don't talk to him once a day, I really feel like something is not completed. This is, like, an attraction story.

I think after music is performance because it is also an immaterial form of art, and then there's everything else.

You know you found the right one when you stop looking for "more.

You have to enjoy life. Always be surrounded by people that you like, people who have a nice conversation. There are so many positive things to think about.

We go astray when we think that we can do spiritual work without spiritual power.

Self is the opaque veil that hides the Face of God from us. It can be removed only in spiritual experience, never by mere instruction.

When under attack, no country is obligated to collect permission slips from allies to strike back.

Satan has his companions, fellow-devils, to admire and encourage him; but I am solitary and detested.

Earth will be safe when we feel in us enough safety.

I don't do much of anything consciously in writing - in poetry writing, anyway, prose usually being a different matter, of course.

Any show in its first season is going to probably have some growing pains.

I think the Americans are ready to play, they want to beat us. I think that players like Chris Chelios and his leadership over there goes a long way.
