I didn't develop or build synths. I had my technicians modify them for my live stage performances.

I always wanted to do something completely different.

The more far-out artists, the better.

The Internet is both great and terrible. As a source of information, a tool for delivering music and art, it's great. But spamming ads and piracy of music is terrible. It's stealing.

My music and lyrics became an extension of this Indian philosophy.

No one likes to work for free. To copy an artist's work and download it free is stealing. It's hard work writing and recording music, and it's morally wrong to steal it.

Artists were nurtured back in the '70s. Their music was developed by the record companies.

In 1972, George Harrison invited me to accompany him on a trip to India.

We lived on a farm in the English countryside, where we wrote a lot of our music. You really were treated like an artist during those days-not like product, which is now the mode.

The idea to do the album only on keyboards kind of happened by accident. I was quite happy with the sound and felt it really didn't need more instruments, so I didn't use them.

Music's staying power is a function of how timeless the lyrics, song and production are.

I like Anastacia's version of Love is Alive best.

India profoundly changed my outlook on life because you see how people can be content and very happy with little or even no possessions. It's the reverse of the West.

George Harrison is perhaps one of the most creative people I ever met, not only in his music and songwriting, but just the way he lived his life, decorated his gardens and homes. He was a dear friend of mine. His entire approach to music was very unique.

I'm developing artists for my new record label, my son's band, Intangible, being one of them.

I will be developing artists for my new label. The rest is in God's Hands.

We visited Ravi. We didn't study with him, as such.

As a kid, I used to love to play baseball and be in Little League and sleep outside with my friends and do all those kind of things.

By the law of averages, there has to be life elsewhere. The universe is so huge, and I don't think God would have created this whole big huge cosmos and just say there's only going to be life on Earth, and that's it.

I had no idea 'The Dream Weaver' would be so successful. Everything just fell into place with that album. I pioneered a number of ideas with that album and subsequent tour. The all-keyboard approach with no guitars was a new one, and I was one of the first to use a drum machine in concert. It was an amazing time.

I was the first artist, I think, to ever do an all-keyboard album. There were things that resembled it, like Stevie Wonder. A lot of his stuff was on keyboards, but he used brass and he used other things as well. I was the first artist, also, to use drum machines. I was really the one who kind of started that whole thing.

I went to Berlin to study psychology but decided that I was more interested in music and started an R and B band.

Music is an extremely powerful force if used properly to uplift people. I believe music should be uplifting and not downgrading... it's a very, very powerful tool.

My voice hasn't changed really very much. I still do all my songs when I perform live and still do them in the original keys. I've been blessed with that ability to retain that.

Sometimes when you make a record and it's not successful, you just don't want to go through that process for a while. You want to have your wounds heal.

Unfortunately, music devolved instead of evolved. The music business got into the hands of lawyers and accountants rather than the entrepreneurial creative people, and that's when the beginning of the end started. It's all based on money instead of art and creativity.

Amnesty, n. The state's magnanimity to those offenders whom it would be too expensive to punish.

The sad thing is that I feel so boring because 'Twilight' is literally how every conversation I have these days begins - whether it's someone I'm meeting for the first time or someone I just haven't seen in a while. The first thing I want to say to them is, 'It's insane! And, as a person, I can't do anything!'

I'm so happy with 'The Blacklist.' Give me more people to shoot and throw them off buildings.

The car resembles a dragon fly or any other jumping animal that moves shorter distances in straight lines and then changes its direction at different points.

It's important you stay professional and keep working, and I'm thankful for everything that's happened to me.

My one ambition is to play a hero.

The human spy, in terms of the American espionage effort, had never been terribly pertinent.

When I look at China's environmental problems, the real barrier is not lack of technology or money. It's lack of motivation.

I'm scared of actors with a scheme.

I am a huge fan of Adrian Piper: how she works, how she reveals her process in the work, how she writes about it.

War stories, westerns, spy stories are all accepted as respectable because they are read by men. It is only women's light reading which is derided.

It may be a mistake to say this, but I know my limitations as an actor and I know what I can and can not do. Robert De Niro can do everything. I can't. A 'Highlander' movie is basically my thing. What I'm attempting to do is develop my ability as an actor and try to be the best I can be in the fantasy/action genre.

I used to sit on the couch, and I could go through a pound of Brie cheese and a movie. I was like, 'That's enough,' because it feels like a bowling ball in your stomach.

Nearly all web publications are driven by the display model, which is in turn driven by page views. But we all know the web is shifting, thanks to mobile devices and the walled gardens they erect. The new landscape of the web is far more complicated, and new products must emerge.

'Shell Shocked' is so different from what people are used to hearing from Ty Dolla Sign.

I don't like when I look too cluttered.

You try to figure out the best way to throw the shot put, or the perfect way to long jump, and you don't ever get it. You just chip away, chip away, chip away as time goes on.

Be the hardest working person you can be. That's how you separate yourself from the competition.

I've certainly had periods when I felt like life was winning and I was losing, so I think everybody can relate to that quandary - the temptation to give in, to give up, and then what It takes to keep going.

Bicycling is a big part of the future. It has to be. Theres something wrong with a society that drives a car to workout in a gym.

It's also much clearer how much damage the occupation of Iraq is doing to America's reputation and prestige around the world; and that's just starting now to hit home in the United States.

I thought I was a pretty good shortstop, but I also wanted to play in the major leagues.
