More quotes by Cat Stevens
It's true that the Internet is an equalizer, and everybody can be a star now. Musicians are more touchable these days, and that's a good thing. It's certainly the way I like to live my life, and it's why I don't do concerts in big arenas - I prefer to be in touch with my audience.

And so I started really considering, Yeah, I've got to do more, for kids, particularly.

I'm not the best of you, but I'm not the worst either.
Cat Stevens
Being larger than life, or being projected as such in the music business, leads you to question yourself. Some people try to forget about it by taking drugs or too much drink, but I was never like that. I was aware that there were very serious, big questions, and I was petrified about what might be in store for me.
Cat Stevens
The harm done is often difficult to repair.
Cat Stevens
In those days a concert was a personal experience. I wanted to be as close as possible to the audience and of course big stadiums didn't enable you to do that. It wasn't my style.

Some extremists take elements of the sacred scriptures out of context.
Cat Stevens
Everything made so much sense. This is the beauty of the Qur'an it asks you to reflect and reason....When I read the Qur'an further, it talked about prayer, kindness and charity. I was not a Muslim yet, but I felt the only answer for me was the Qur'an and God had sent it to me.
Cat Stevens
So on and on I go, the seconds tick the time out There's so much left to know, and I'm on the road to find out.
