I feel blessed and humbled that people have loved my music. Nothing would be possible without their acceptance.

Every time I sit for a song, I feel I am finished. It's like a beggar sitting waiting for God to fill your bowl with the right thought. In every song, I ask help from Him. Everybody around is so good, so to create music that will connect with so many people is not humanly possible without inspiration.

I'm a Sufi Muslim, I would say. I believe in using the medium to create a good vibration because art is so important to society. Some projects I don't do because I feel that it's going to create a bad vibe. I don't do propaganda films that are anti another religion, anti-Muslim or anti-Hindu.

I feel very, very blessed.

For me, there is no day or night for music. I often work through the night - without phone calls disturbing me.

I feel like I'm nothing without wildlife. They are the stars. I feel awkward without them.
