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

My first Grammy wasn't even in a jazz category, but of course I was really excited. 'Rockit' was the beginning of kind of a new era for the whole hip-hop movement.

If you're not judging what happens, then you're trusting what others are doing, what you're playing, and trusting what you're playing.And it can lead you to other ideas, to something maybe you hadn't expressed before.

I don't look at music from the standpoint of being a musician; I look at it from the standpoint of being a human being.

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

It is people's hearts that move the age.

Without wisdom, the future has no meaning, no valuable purpose.
