If you want to play somebody's music, you'd better go into his house.

You don't have to live the blues to play the blues.

If you keep your head in the sand, you don't know where the kick's coming from.

My youngest son, who is now the drummer in my band, lives in Brooklyn. My oldest son is about to move out to California, and my daughters are both out of town.

My father's father came from Russia; my mother came from Romania.

You have to be concerned with yourself because if you're not on it all the time, nobody else is going to be.

Music allows the great opportunity to play with people you love.
