Nobody told me I was a child prodigy.

In the past, there's always been one leader that has led the pack to development of the music.

The music becomes something that is its own entity.

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

I've never really been interested in doing a solo piano tour.

When you struggle to reach for something you don't know, that's where most of the interesting stuff is.
