I like to listen to classical music... I like mainline jazz.

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

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

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

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.

Arts is like the power of now. When you're performing, when you're playing, when you're sculpting, painting, it's that moment. I'm in the moment of my life, and that's what I love to do.

We always felt that if you do something with quality and integrity, then it's going to come back to you.
