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

The French - they like jazz, theyve been on jazz a long time.

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

I might have played a little bit more in Europe than I have in Japan.

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.

If somebody would come and they're not playing music, they would encounter certain people on another level.

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.
