I'm happy to have the opportunity to record the records I want to - I'm very aware that that's a privilege.

I guess chemistry always changes when you play with someone else.

The very fine line between loneliness and solitude, reflection; being alone, always appealed to me when I was a kid.

I'm not much of a storyteller with words!

I've always just tried to be who I am and be honest in terms of what I play. If that reaches a larger group of people, great. If it doesn't - if it remains obscure - that's okay as well.

The music itself, I suppose, is the thing that will survive in my memory, happily.

There's a pianist out of Boston who made a beautiful record for the Fresh Sound label called "Sketch Book"; his name is Vardan Ovsepian.
