"I have spent all my life playing second fiddle.. it is only through my son that I can hope to win some day..." R.K. SEKHAR, father of the musical phenomenon A.R. Rahman
"If a music artiste wants to blossom into a full-pledged person, it's not enough if he knows only classical music; nor it's enough if he's well-versed only in raagaas and techniques. Instead, he should be a knowledgeable person interested in life and philosophy. In his personal life there should be, atleast in some corner of his heart, a tinge of lingering sorrow." A.R. Rahman
"I wanted to go beyond the restrictions of language, religion and caste, and music is really the only thing that allows you to do that." A.R. Rahman
"His music transcends all barriers - linguistic, geographical and chronological. He is a phenomenal success. He is incredibly talented. He is Allah Rakha Rahman, popularly known to music lovers world over as A.R.Rahman." Screen
"Along with variety in music, it's important to package music well. That'll be the mantra of the millennium. Good music always lasts." A.R. Rahman
"I think he has an incredible tone of voice. I have seen many Bollywood films, but what he manages to do is quite unique -- he keeps it very much Indian. For me as a Westerner, I can always recognize his music because it has got a rule tone of voice of its own. It's very definitely Indian, yet it has an appeal which will go right across the world. He will hit the West in an amazing kind of way; that is, if he is led in the right way." Andrew Lloyd Webber
"His music has that international quality which is absolutely stunning." DOUCHAN GERSI, Director
"I believe that every individual, even an atom, can move only with the will of God. I don't take credit for doing all this. If I did, then I would fall flat." A.R.RAHMAN
