You can practice to attain knowledge, but you can't practice to attain wisdom.

Since time is a continuum, the moment is always different, so the music is always different.

Being a musician is what I do, but it's not what I am.

A jazz musician is not a jazz musician when he or she is eating dinner or when he or she is with his parents or spouse or neighbors. He's above all a human being . . . the true artform is being a human being.

Each human being exists because there's something they have to offer for the evolution of the universe that only they can fulfill.

I'm always looking to create new avenues or new visions of music.

The thing that we possess, that machines don't, is the ability to exhibit wisdom.
