What is a poet? An unhappy person who conceals profound anguish in his heart but whose lips are so formed that as sighs and cries pass over them they sound like beautiful music.

I try to use my music to move these people to act.

The reflection of the world is blues, that's where that part of the music is at. Then you got this other kind of music that's tryin' to come around.

Philosophy is the highest music.

My goal is to be one with the music. I just dedicate my whole life to this art.
