I’m a catalyst for change. You can’t be an outsider and be successful over 30 years without leaving a certain amount of scar tissue.

To be is to be perceived.

I'm not afraid of being forgotten because my music won't be.

Maybe every man has had two such women, at least two. Married to a red rose, over time, the red becomes a mosquito blood stain on the wall, while the white remains "moonlight before the bed"; married to a white rose, the white becomes a grain of sticky rice on the clothes, while the red remains a cinnabar mole on the heart.

Music is my language; I use it to talk to the world.
