My goal was never to sell many records.

I can count on one hand the number of instrumental hits there have been over the last 10 years.

I write music people enjoy playing and listening to, and I have a group that loves playing the music.

A studio recording is perfection, but emotion and passion come only when you turn on the machine and go for the groove. If you do that with no mistakes, it sounds beautiful.

Not compromising the music, but there is a way, by just showing the people that you're sincere and honest with what you're doing, and by talking to them.

My music has always been strong in melodic content.

I am glad that I wrote something that brought joy to millions of people.
