The music that I have learned and want to give is like worshipping God. It's absolutely like a prayer.

In India, I have been called a 'destroyer.' But that is only because they mixed my identity as a performer and as a composer. As a composer I have tried everything, even electronic music and avant-garde. But as a performer I am, believe me, getting more classical and more orthodox, jealously protecting the heritage that I have learned.

I have learned that to be with those I like is enough.

I have learned to delegate.

Pop changes week to week, month to month. But great music is like literature.

My music has a very spiritual background, a sanctity that is almost like worship.
