I'm always interested in looking forward toward the future. Carving out new ways of looking at things.

It pulled me like a magnet, jazz did, because it was a way that I could express myself.

Back in the day for me was a great time in my life - I was in my 20s. Most people refer to their experiences in their twenties as being a highlight in their life. It's a period of time where you often develop your own way, your own sound, your own identity, and that happened with me, when I was with a great teacher - Miles Davis.

It's part of my nature. I get excited when trying out new stuff, whether it be an idea or equipment. It stimulates my juices.

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

I've been a religious, spiritual person for a long time.

But, the truth is that everyone is somebody already.
