I enjoy seeing young people being interested in what they can do.

Because the stuff that they feed kids now, they'll have a bunch of idiots in the next millennium as far as art and culture is concerned.

If I couldn't do it, then I'd be defeated. I've got the tools to do it. I never did question my tools.

Theres so much beautiful music in the world, and the kids are getting robbed.

The people in Japan know more about the history of jazz and the musicians than the people in the United States do.

The Japanese actually approach the music on a high level. It's always been on a high level.

But anything that you hear about Japan is nothing like what you see when you actually go over there and see it, you know, in a real situation.
