One thing that sticks in my mind is that jazz means freedom and openness. It's a music that, although it developed out of the African American experience, speaks more about the human experience than the experience of a particular people.

Nobody told me I was a child prodigy.

Miles' sessions were not typical of anybody else's sessions. They were totally unique.

Buddhism has turned me on to my humanness, and is challenging my humanness so that I can become more human.

Life is not about finding our limitations, it's about finding our infinity.

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

I try stuff. I synthesize what's of value with some of the other things I have at my disposal.
