“I'll transform anything as long as it's edible.”
“Push your boundaries, that's what they're there for.”
“Rather than converting people from one organised religion to another organised religion, we should try to convert people from misery to happiness, from bondage to liberation and from cruelty to compassion.”
“Jazz is not a 'form' but a collection of tags and tricks.”
