“I am an Instrument of Nature.Love is my message.”

I believe I’m one of the loneliest people in the world.

People need love. It’s the most powerful emotion in the world.

It’s always difficult for anyone trying to compete against their past achievements.

I believe we are powerful but we don’t use our minds to full capacity. Your mind is powerful enough to help you attain whatever you want.

I really do wish people could understand me some day.

Never rush an emotion; everything in life has a rhythm, it is the pauses and silences that speak the truth.

A star can never die. It just turns into a smile and melts back into the cosmic music, the dance of life.

The happiness and the joy that I see in the eyes of the children. They saved my life so I want to, give it back. I’m not joking.

Damned indecision and cursed pride.

I’m a strong person. I’m a warrior and I know what is inside of me.

You can always dream, and your dreams can come true. But you have to make them come true.

May we continue to remember not to judge man by the color of his skin, but the content of his character.

Be humble, believe in yourself, and have the love of the world in your heart.

Let us dream of tomorrow where we can truly love from the soul, and know love as the ultimate truth at the heart of all creation.

Hope is such a beautiful word, but it often seems very fragile. Life is still being needlessly hurt and destroyed.

In a world filled with hate, we must still dare to hope. In a world filled with anger, we must still dare to comfort. In a world filled with despair, we must still dare to dream. And in a world filled with distrust, we must still dare to believe.

Instinct perfected is a faculty of using and even constructing organized instruments; intelligence perfected is the faculty of making and using unorganized instruments.

Every time I see a piano, I have this urge to play it.

Woman is a delightful instrument of pleasure, but it is necessary to know its trembling strings, to study the position of them, the timid keyboard, the fingering so changeful and capricious which befits it.

It is as absurd to say that a man can’t love one woman all the time as it is to say that a violinist needs several violins to play the same piece of music.

Sorrows, as storms, bring down the clouds close to the earth; sorrows bring heaven down close; and they are instruments of cleansing and purifying.

I had a guitar when I was 6 or 7, a plastic guitar with the Beatles’ faces on it. It would be a collector’s item now. It would fetch a hefty sum, I imagine.

I came to NAMM once and saw this guitar that self-tuned, and I thought, ‘Wow, this is the future!’ And I’ve never seen it again.

I play piano all the time. I’m always at my piano, playing music.
