At a certain point, I became a kind of musician that has tunnel vision about jazz. I only listened to jazz and classical music.

I think I was supposed to play jazz.

One of the greatest attributes of jazz, I think, is that it is that open.

I think there's a great beauty to having problems. That's one of the ways we learn.

Nobody told me I was a child prodigy.

Music is the tool to express life - and all that makes a difference.

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