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.

I like the idea of an eclectic approach, incorporating jazz with other forms and other genres of music.

I think I was supposed to play jazz.

The value of music is to be able to play one note at the right time in the right way.

Of course, it's not the technique that makes the music; it's the sensitivity of the musician and his ability to be able to fuse his life with the rhythm of the times. This is the essence of music.

Nobody told me I was a child prodigy.

All you have to do is play one note. But it needs to be the right note.
