“Your best success comes after your greatest disappointment.”

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.

No regrets. There is no time for that. Regret is boring.

I wanted to be part of something bigger.

When I initially read the script, it goes inside and comes out different things even without commenting on any stuff. And then, those pieces are taken out and then spread out through the movie.

Sometimes I intentionally cut it off. I just want to be in silence, especially when I’m traveling. I watch movies without sound.

Once I get onstage the tension explodes and I’m fine. I’m in another world – in a trance almost, doing what I love best, expressing myself through guitar.

A British pressing with a compilation of the best stuff really, I mean actually not only that but, these were all kind of semi hits for the people on it in America.

I love spending time with my family and friends during the holidays, and my favorite holiday tradition would be the pozole that my mom makes almost every Christmas. It’s the best!

A good producer brings out the best in the artist he’s working with. You shouldn’t be able to listen to something and say, ‘So-and-so produced this album.

Not to be born is, past all prizing, best.

The best part of touring, still, is touching people’s hearts and igniting my band and igniting the people into what you call a spiritual revelation is sound and emotion.

If I fall over and make mistakes, I’ll pick myself back up and hope for the best and try to conduct myself with as much authenticity and moral code.

Actually I’m writing as best I can, in order to keep the momentum and the career there, but I want to live.
