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 have to care and I have to be honest and have the courage to be vulnerable. If that happens, then that's the best I can do. To just be a puppet for the audience is not very courageous. Just to do whatever they say they want - because a lot of times people will hear something new that they hadn't heard before and get turned on by a new experience and will want to hear more of that.

You don't need the fame to be vital.

You can change your character and, at the same time, change your fortune.

Music truly is the universal language.

I hope to use dialogue and culture as a means of bringing people of various cultures together, and using that as a way to resolve conflict.
