You know, the record business is much different than being artist on stage.

I confess that I listen to my own music for my own pleasure.

I was taken in by the bravado and the sounds of Mexico... not so much the music, but the spirit.

I like to listed to the adventurous guys - the Coltranes, Miles Davis, the guys who just let it loose.

When I finish an album and I find myself listening to it in the car, because it makes me feel a certain way, that's the time to try to let other people know about it.

I think President Obama really does get the value of the arts.

I play every day. It's like a habit for me now. I just, if I don't play, I kind of miss - something's off.
