Bill Gates recently picked up the ukulele. And Warren Buffett is a huge ukulele fan. I even got to strum a few chords with Francis Ford Coppola. It blows my mind that these people, who have everything in the world they could want, have picked up the ukulele and found a little bit of joy.

If I could do something with Paul McCartney it would be just amazing. Or Eric Clapton.

Growing up, the ukulele was always a respected instrument. It's a big part of our culture. It wasn't until I started traveling outside of Hawaii that I realized people didn't really consider the ukulele to be a real instrument.

I know a few chords on the guitar, but I wouldn't be able do a show or even be part of a jam session with one.

The ukulele is the instrument of peace.

Most people are awestruck when they see Lady Gaga and Bette Midler, but then the queen comes in.
