When I was in my early teens, I remember coming to the conclusion that your life never ends.

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

One thing that sticks in my mind is that jazz means freedom and openness. It's a music that, although it developed out of the African American experience, speaks more about the human experience than the experience of a particular people.

As a human being, I'm concerned about the world that I live in.So, I'm concerned about peace.I'm concerned about man's inhumanity to man. I'm concerned about the environment.

It's part of my nature. I get excited when trying out new stuff, whether it be an idea or equipment. It stimulates my juices.

I try to practice with my life.

Creativity shouldn't be following radio; it should be the other way around.
