If it wasn’t for the music, I wouldn’t have been born into this world. Music is the essential part of my life. It’s a kind of substance that lies in between the two spheres: material and spiritual, like mediative energy of some sort. Those who can truly appreciate the power of its magic are few. Music is a very fine instrument.

My greatest passion is life itself. The process of cultivating my own mind.

There’s a stage of our life that every single person reaches sooner or later, when he has to ask himself: ‘What is that I’m living for?’ This is what distinguishes us from animals.

There’s no point in fearing death, as our love, our soul and our mind are imperishable. That’s obvious to me, as death is simply a way to transition one from current form into the next, which might be painful or go unnoticed, probably, depending on one’s merits…

I don’t feel fear, because I have faith. I have faith in God, I believe that I’m being looked after by someone from high above, I try my best to be a good person. The only concern I’ve got is the concern for the others: the loved ones, the weak ones.

There are no friends and no enemies, one should regard every person as his teacher.

Sincerity is what lies at the heart of everything. It’s what all the other qualities are based on. However kind, merciful and loving you are, if you’re not sincere in it — it just doesn’t work.

Everybody has the right to make mistakes, but nobody has the right to lie. There are at least two things one generally shouldn’t do in his life: one shouldn’t lie and one shouldn’t steal.

Religions split people apart. It’s spirituality that brings them together.

Love is something that can’t be obtained from the outer world. You can’t take it. Love is the quality that we can only give away. And it’s at that moment that we feel love filling us up, like a vessel that shouldn’t be left empty.

Nowadays any kind of information has been made available. The only question is what one really wants, what his interests are.

It doesn’t matter, what one’s current level is, it’s far more important, what his aspirations are.

People possess useful knowledge, but it’s rare that they put it into practice.

The main source of inspiration is love. However, one should realize where it comes from.

I am a very trustful person. I don’t see how you can keep up a relationship with someone you don’t trust.

It was at the time when I used to work at the radio that I realized: the more famous you are, the greater the responsibility. If you can’t say what you think, just keep silent and play good music. This will be a useful thing to do.

I love playing musical instruments, love starting and promoting musical and artistic projects, helping others and sharing.
