Ben Harper

The Blind Boys are truly the deepest well of American musical heritage you can discover.

The only way that you can find any semblance of a rule, or make any semblance of your own rule, is to tear up the rulebook. Throw it out, burn it, throw it away, and make your own rules.

But I would never insult the people that love this music and I would never insult the blessing of music in my life and I would never insult myself by playing uninspired music.

I would've done anything to work with Satyajit Ray.

I just had an idea that went right over my head.

I've always been very determined, ever since I was a little girl, to make my way.
