My temples are only in India. When I am in India, I go to the religious ceremonies.

I am jealous of all those people who live on the shore of Dal Lake.

I'm very much tied to the state of Israel, but I am against their policy of settlements in Palestine.

I pay my tributes to my dearest friend and the greatest musician of India Ravi Shanker. It has been a long time since we made music together. I will never forget the last time we worked together.

In Bombay, we have a fine concert hall. I think it is high time we built venues in Delhi and Calcutta, not only for western music, but also Indian music. It doesn't matter which party is in power; don't you think the capital of India should have a concert hall?

Music is the message of peace, and music only brings peace.
