Music is my life, it is a reflection of what I go ...

You can be around 100 people and be completely alone. People don't realize what it's really like.

It was amazing to me that, all of a sudden, I was hearing my music on the radio and coming out of cars.

I just need to know that I did the very best I could and that I was true to myself.

At the age when Bengali youth almost inevitably writes poetry, I was listening to European classical music.

I'm well past the age where I'm acceptable. You get to a certain age and you are forbidden access. You're not going to get the kind of coverage that you would like in music magazines, you're not going to get played on radio and you're not going to get played on television. I have to survive on word of mouth.

When superstition is allowed to perform the task of old age in dulling the human temperament, we can say goodbye to all excellence in poetry, in painting, and in music.

A lot of music you might listen to is pretty vapid, it doesn't always deal with our deeper issues. These are the things I'm interested in now, particularly at my age.
