World peace is no longer some pie-in-the-sky thing, because no single person or country is going to solve it on their own.

I learned the importance of being nonjudgmental, taking what happens and trying to make it work.That's something you should apply to life.

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

Music isn't about music, it's about life.

Jazz is about being in the moment.

I like to be on the edge, on the cutting edge, or be into the unknown, into the territory where I have to depend on being in the moment and depending on my instincts.

You don't need the fame to be vital.
