"The moment one gives close attention to any thing, even a blade of grass it becomes a mysterious, awesome, indescribably magnificent world in itself."
"The person whose attention is in the 'pure Soul' is known as a renowned person. No one in the past had been celebrated as a famous person, they were called renowned persons. To be famous is the result of an 'above normal' state."

"Well, in Japan, I have got a group of musicians that I have worked with a lot, that concentrate just on the hardcore stuff, say, that Naked City has been working on. We have like a repertoire of sixty songs now."

"I don't control it at all. It's all up to the musicians in the group. They control it. They make all the cues, and they tell me what they want, and then I act like a mirroring device so that everyone can see what the cues are."
"When I'm writing, sometimes it gets to that place where I feel like the piece is writing itself and I'm trying not to get in the way."

"That is a lot of the reason I do what I do, to really spread the word and spread information and turn people onto different things they may not be, y'know, aware of. That is what Naked City is certainly about."
"I have about two or three people, we don't have an office, we don't even have a dedicated phone line. We do it out of our own homes, and we make it work."
