It takes so long to make a record and then it takes so long again to release it.

I don't think anything's underground anymore. And I think that's a good thing. Everything is up for grabs.

Bill Withers and Curtis Mayfield, those are the people who informed me in playing the bass.

I tend to play better in the studio, no pressures, just sheer volume and alcohol.

The trick with computers I think, is to approach old and new things with the same reverence as you would like your favourite chair and not be seduced by the constant innovation otherwise you never do anything.

Coltrane would do what you'd get a Roland Pro Tools module to do but with a group of jazz musicians.

As you get older you realize how important your emotional response is to any kind of music.
