When you play from the heart, all of a sudden there's no gravity. You don't feel the weight of the world, of bills, of anything. That's why people love it. Your so-called insurmountable problems disappear, and instead of problems you get possibilities.
There is no greater reward than working from your heart and making a difference in the world.
When you fly to New York, sometimes they put you on hold and you just go round and around in a holding pattern. Sometimes in a concert, I feel other spirits in a holding pattern that they want to land through my heart and through my fingers.
The best part of touring, still, is touching people's hearts and igniting my band and igniting the people into what you call a spiritual revelation is sound and emotion.
If you carry joy in your heart, you can heal any moment,
There's a melody in everything. And once you find the melody, then you connect immediately with the heart. Because sometimes English or Spanish, Swahili or any language gets in the way. But nothing penetrates the heart faster than the melody.
When you are in your heart of hearts, you can see beyond appearances.
All music is important if it comes from the heart.
We are capable of creating miracles ourselves and the greatest miracle is to create a masterpiece of joy out of your life with no excuses. The thing I focus on is going straight to heart. I go to mine first because if I don't feel it, you're not going to feel it. I take a deep breath and remind myself that before I give it to you I have to give it to myself.
If you stay in your heart you will always be inspired and if you are inspired you will always be enthusiastic. There is nothing more contagious on this planet as enthusiasm.
One day there will be no borders, no boundaries, no flags and no countries and the only passport will be the heart
The most valuable possession you can own is an open heart. The most powerful weapon you can be is an instrument of peace.
I see Marti as a god for the greatness of his heart and his distinction between good vs. evil. He had the intelligence of 1,000 men in his one brain, ... I want to cross the streets he crossed. That's why I'm here. I can hear the steps of Marti.
Realize that when you get older, you either get senile or become gracious. There's no in-between. You become senile when you think the world short-changed you, or everybody wakes up to screw you. You become gracious when you realize that you have something the world needs, and people are happy to see you when you come into the room.
