“After a point of time, when you get success and fame, money and everything, the purpose of life has to be redefined. For me, I think that purpose is to build bridges. Artists can do that very easily, more than politicians.”

Music is something that takes you to a world which is very different from the world of hatred,jealousy, and all those negative emotions

If music wakes you up, makes you think, heals you…then, I guess the music is working.

I think I would like to discover a new root where people don’t get bored with people singing boring lines but something exciting. That’d be interesting.

Rather than making money I believe in making people happy, all other things are secondary. Money isn’t important, creative satisfaction is.

The best way would be education and kids and all that stuff and then education and working education comes through. Then I started a music school and the music school now teaches kids to play the violin and the viola.

Be original and find your inner voice. The rest will follow.

People Expect Something New From Me All The Time.And That’s Good It Keeps Me On The Edge

I don’t even know where mine [Oscar award] is. My mother has hidden it because everybody who comes in wants to take a photograph of it. So what she’s done is she put it inside a suitcase somewhere.

I believe that whatever comes at a particular time is a blessing from God.

I want to go beyond the restrictions of language, religion and caste, and music is the only thing that allows me to do that.

Music is language itself. It should not have any barriers of caste, creed, language or anything. Music is one, only cultures are different. Music is the language of languages. It is the ultimate mother of languages.

Your inner voice is the voice of divinity. To hear it, we need to be in solitude, even in crowded places.

The more you know the less you talk.

I am a big admirer of Sachin and his personality. He is a source of inspiration for the country and just looking at his photographs gives a lot of positive vibes.

There have been predictions that the world will come to an end on 21.12.12. But I look around me and I see so much scope for hope.

You can’t be without passion. Passion means the possessiveness to be the best.

The hardest part of leaving is to make it look so easy… isn’t that the unfortunate fuckin truth.

You know, there has never been a 24-hour period in five years when I have not responded to e-mail at Facebook. I am not saying it’s easy. I work long hours.

It’s easier to let a heart wait than make a heartbreak.

Fitness – if it came in a bottle, everybody would have a great body.

Have patience. Everything is difficult before it is easy.

It is easy to love perfection. The difficulty consists in loving the human with his good and bad. We mostly know as much as we love. Only loving God but not its creatures, you can never really know, neither really love.

Have patience. All things are difficult before they become easy.

God never said that the journey would be easy, but He did say that the arrival would be worthwhile.
