I think we as human beings need to be able to appreciate each other's differences and I think jazz really takes us in that direction.

There's something interesting about playing live; you're in the moment, and I think it would be beneficial.

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

Selfishly, I make music for me. I like to make music. I like looking for songs. I like working with interesting musicians. I like producing records. It's something I will always do.

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.

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.
