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.

When we shift back to feeling the sensations in our body and connect to what's in front of us, the creative channel opens up.

I've never isolated role models based on gender. I have more male role models due to the mere fact that I've done business with more of them and they're leaders within the verticals I work. Of those, Tony Hsieh, CEO of Zappos.com, is an entrepreneur and personal friend that I have a great deal of respect for.

Sometimes it is hard to see in life. If the fog rolls in we cant see anything. Most people get caught up in life that they forget the purpose of life is to be happy.

There is a lot of rubbish written about toilet humour - people saying it is childish and pretending it is beneath them - but there is no doubting the effectiveness of a really good willy gag.

Fear doesn’t exist anywhere except in the mind.

In the course of her education she had gone through the history usually put into the hands of young people... now her ripened reason gave to her present study at least the advantage of novelty.

The ones who are crazy enough to think they can change the world, are the ones that do.

Genes that underlie the capacity to receive, use and transmit information are the evolving properties.

For us to maintain our way of living, we must tell lies to each other and especially to ourselves. The lies are necessary because, without them, many deplorable acts would become impossibilities.

I was asleep, in the upstairs bedroom, in the rear of the house. There was this tremendous crash, there was a terrible wind force hitting my body, and then I blanked out.

I used to be married to a woman who pursued every spiritual trend with tremendous passion and dragged me along. I don't believe in anything. I'd seen mediums and readers.

As soon as the printing press started flooding Europe with books, people were complaining that there were too many books and that it was going to change philosophy and the course of human thought in ways that wouldn't necessarily be good.

Nothing is as frustrating as arguing with someone who knows what he's talking about.

I always play every game like my back is against the wall, that this could be it.

For me, cinema is a vice. I love it intimately.

The way to Everest is not a Yellow Brick Road.

Whenever I've had success, I never learn from it. Success usually breeds a degree of hubris. When you fail, that's when you learn.

As a unique person, I was bullied badly as a teen.

Life... It tends to respond to our outlook, to shape itself to meet our expectations.

There are many Sheriff Arpaios. People who have taken to local city, county, and state governments across the county the idea that immigrants are the problem. That immigrants are to blame.

We cannot forget the little things we take for granted in America that remain the disdain of dictators and terrorists throughout the world.

Whenever teenage girls and corporate CEOs covet the same new technology, something extraordinary is happening.
