But, the truth is that everyone is somebody already.

I'm one of the people who was a pioneer in encouraging musicians, early in the game, to get interested in technology, and now all the musicians are getting into it.

I don't go around, the way many musicians do, with earbuds in my ear listening to my iPod all day and just sticking my head in the music all the time.

Like no matter what happens, this would be the ultimate, they can make something positive happen.

Oscar Peterson is the greatest living influence on jazz pianists today.

I never dreamed I would be a Goodwill Ambassador, and for UNESCO. Perfect organization. It is apolitical and it's about education, science and culture. I mean that is what I live. That is what UNESCO is really about; it's all about bringing human beings together with one common goal, which is to move human kind forward.

But I have to be careful not to let the world dazzle me so much that I forget that I'm a husband and a father.
