 "Music is the only thing that you can share with a million million people
and you don't lose, you gain. It helps you to get energy and to live long,
because when
your soul is very happy then you don't want to die."
"For us, as a family, music is like food. When you need it you don't have to
explain why, because it is basic to life."
"If you practice for 10 years, you may begin to please yourself, after 20
years you may become a performer and please the audience, after 30 years you
may please even your guru, but you must practice for many more years before
you finally become a true artist-- then you may please even God."
"I play for myself. If I like my music, you will like it. If I do not, you
will not."
"After eating healthy food you can have a sweet, but if you don't have the
real food and only have the sweets it's not good for you. Still, if you eat
healthy a little chocolate is very nice. You can mix up the music a little
bit like that for fun."
"Indian music is like a river or stream that has come down to us through
time, bringing nurture to man's soul. From the past masters, this music
flowed tp my father and through him to me. I want to keep this stream
flowing. I don't want it to die. It must spread all over the world."
