I'm a natural piano player. So all the practicing I do at this point is in my head. If I don't play for a year, my chops aren't going to get any worse. I've spent my time playing scales, and I don't necessarily want to play any faster than I play. So everything I do at this point is more philosophical.

With imagination, I'll get there.

As you work on something, whether it's a painting or a piece of music, it's going to evolve. A relationship is like that too. I don't have to think, What can I do to spice up my marriage? Because as time goes on, she changes, I change. I'm not married to the same girl I met by the pool. I love this woman more than I loved the person I married, but just in a different way.

Let's kick the tires and light the fires, big daddy.

I say sorry to my wife about five times a day for various reasons.

I guess play piano, you know, because that's the thing I started doing when I was a little kid.

New Orleans is my essence, my soul, my muse...
