Don't be afraid to expand yourself, to step out of your comfort zone. That's where the joy and the adventure lie.

One thing that attracted me to Buddhism was the support for this larger vision of values.

I am not fundamentally a musician, I am fundamentally a human being.

The value of music is not dazzling yourself and others with technique.

You can practice to learn a technique, but I'm more interested in conceiving of something in the moment.

As a human being, I'm concerned about the world that I live in.So, I'm concerned about peace.I'm concerned about man's inhumanity to man. I'm concerned about the environment.

I'm very conscious of the idea of trying to each time present something that I haven't presented before. It's a challenge to me to find something new, to find something innovative, but it's also very exciting.
