+ The music that really turns me on is either
running toward God or away from God. Both
recognize the pivot, that God is at the center
of the jaunt. |
|
|
|
+ I don't go into the writing process with
any idea of what's going to come out and I
don't have much control over what does. In
a way, I never really expect them to see the
light of day or certainly to ever get recorded.
I certainly don't sit down to write lyrics
with any desire to reveal anything. It's not
what I'm trying to do. |

british/indian singer :::
|
|
|
+ I didn’t know how to manufacture an
opportunity, but I was determined that when
a chance came my way I would be ready. |
|
|
|
+ Thank you for the tragedy. I need it for
my art. |
|
|
|
+ Music has that power because music is not
like politicians. Music is always there. Politicians
come in every four or five years, lie to the
people, get what they want at that time, and
disappear, but music is there every time.
It can change the world. |
|
|
|
+ A man is a success if he gets up in the
morning and gets to bed at night, and in between
he does what he wants to do. |
|
|
|
+ I took on boxing just to get the stress
out. Plus I chilled out a lot as far as the
drinking and the drugs and all that stuff.
Just chillin' out on that made me see things
a lot clearer and learn to rationalize a lot
more. |
|
|
|
+ The best that the majority of working contemporary
artists can hope for is a paltry, uneven return
for their creative effort. |
|
|
|
+ Sometimes I think to talk too much about
music almost cheapens it. |
|
|
|
+ My goal in life is to give to the world
what I was lucky to receive.. the ecstasy
of divine union through my music and my dance. |
|
|
|
+ All those rich lists in the Sunday Times
are so far off the mark. I don't know about
anyone else's, but mine definitely is. It
used to go up millions even though I'd just
been sitting around doing nothing. |
|
|
|
+ As an artist I've been saying for a long
time we only have one world. |
|
|
|
+ Record companies, believe me, no matter
what record company you're with, they're going
to try to hype you, because, really, all record
companies are interested in is making money. |
|
|
|
+ I'm not into progression. I'm not into fusion.
I'm not into any of this shit, yeah? I'm just
into doing what we do, you know what I mean,
yeah? |
|
|
|
+ Poor is the man whose pleasures depend on
the permission of another. |
|
|
|
+ My music will go on forever. Maybe it's
a fool say that, but when me know facts me
can say facts. My music will go on forever. |
|
|
|
+ I am not reggae, I am me. I am bigger than
the limits that are put on me. It all has
to do with the individual journey that the
individual is on. |
|
|
|
+ I would have been an athlete, but I had
a lot of childhood illnesses that developed
a solitude and a deepening and fostered "artisticness." |

|
+ We decided that we weren't going to burn
brightly and fast; that the main goal was
to become the biggest band in the world -
but to take your time and do it at the right
pace
+ Rock stars have a tendency to die very young
or grow old very slowly. |
|
|
|
+ O great creator of being grant us one more
hour to perform our art and perfect our lives. |
|
|
|
+ Truth is like the sun. You can shut it out
for a time, but it ain't going away. |
|
|
|
+ I demand perfection in what I do and I practice
very hard before I give a concert.. sometimes
three to six hours a day. |
|
|
|
+ The only time I feel genuinely young is
when I am going out on stage and I can just
forget about the rest of the world. |
|
|
|
+ I was drawn to music that addressed the
spirit, probably because my own needed to
be addressed. |
|
|
|
+ Dancing and singing were always like games
to me. I sang constantly. |
|
|
|
+ One thing I don't feel is separation from
the crowd. I don't feel like we're speaking
from a platform, I feel like we are communicating
on the same level. |
|
|
|
+ I've become more comfortable, knowing that
I can sleep until two and hang out until ten
in the morning and don't have to worry about
losing my job. But I'm not a big star. I'm
not even a twinkle.. I'm just a rumour. |
