"I never consciously tried to conceive of what my sound should be...I never tried to imitate anybody, but when you love somebody's music, you're influenced...I really don't know how I developed my sound, but it comes from a combination of my musical conception and no doubt the basic shape of the oral cavity."

What is fear?  Why are you so afraid?  Even if everything is known about you and you are an open book, why fear?  How can it harm you?  Just false conceptions, just conditionings given by the society - that you have to hide, that you have to protect yourself, that you have to be constantly in a fighting mood, that everybody is and enemy, that everybody is against you.  Nobody is against you!  Even if you feel somebody is against you, he is not against you because everybody is concerned with himself, not with you
