 ''In my studies on Buddhism, I kept encountering the concept of consciousness, the presence of spirituality in the world, the relationship between what is physical and what is metaphysical. The possibility to meditate and reach a cosmic place. I liked the idea of consciousness, but I wasn't interested in aligning myself with any ideology. I've been a Catholic boy and I have respect for people's faith, but as an artist, I cannot subscribe to any organized religion. I've devoted my life to using rock 'n' roll as a voice to express myself, so I am interested in a form of rock 'n' roll consciousness, as the album title suggests. Maybe it's a kind of religion.''
