“My ambition was to live like music.”

“It's not about money right now. My ambition is to further create a signature sound, a signature spirit, that makes some kind of contribution to music in general.”

“It [music] is the nourishment for my joy to live.”

“Let my children have music! Let them hear live music. Not noise.”

“I want to live like music sounds."- Ruth”

“I like playing music because it's a good living and I get satisfaction from it. But I can't feed my family with satisfaction.”

“Life without playing music is inconceivable for me. I live my daydreams in music. I see my life in terms of music, I get most joy in life out of music.”

“Music has been my outlet, my gift to all of the lovers in this world. Through it — my music, I know I will live forever.”

“My music fights against the system that teaches to live and die.”

“I want to lay up like that, to float unstructured, without ambition or anxiety. I want to inhabit my life like a porch.”
