If you don't see something as a career but as an important part of your life, you don't know how you're going to feel about it.

I spent two years figuring out how I could turn it into something that would satisfy me as a musician but also make some kind of cross-cultural link. I feel that I kind of at least touched on the possibilities of cross-cultural music, but it is a lifetime's work, and I don't profess to be anything other than a novice at it.

Music is something that should speak for itself, straight from the heart. It took me a long time to understand that.
