My songs are my girlfriends. I have a secret romance with all of them. I romance with them year after year.

Being a public figure, you cannot make everyone happy. Some people will criticise your actions, and I cannot stop expressing my opinion based on that.

Apart from being a playback singer for films, I'm also an independent musician.

I'm grateful to God that I'm able to praise his glory through my music.

I do not think classical music faces any threat because new music is being made through computer, as the real charm of classical is its purity, and one who is seeking purity will surely find classical music in spite of so many alternatives.

I suppose I am more comfortable with jazz because I have been playing it that much longer, and also because classical music is a much more disciplined genre.

There is nothing more beautiful for a musician to listen and see harmony.

I am not scared of anyone except the Almighty.

The response that I have got over the years is the best example that the people of India love me, and I feel as much Indian as anybody.

I had my own ups and downs in getting Indian citizenship. But, ultimately I got it and I am happy about it. I like India. My love is here. I am a proud Indian.

The love, adulation, and warmth that I got from India is the reason why I chose this country.

Sufis were always spreading love with their music, and if some kind of extremism is a threat to it, it is a threat to all humanity.
