There's music that can affect people in their lives, and they will always relate to the point that they heard it and experienced it, either if you're playing it or you're receptive, as an audience.

A lot of people can't be on their own. They get frightened. Isolation doesn't bother me at all. It gives me a sense of security.

I always thought the good thing about the guitar was that they didn't teach it in school.

I'm not interested in turning anybody on to anybody that I'm turned on to... if people want to find things, they find them themselves.

Just because you play bass, doesn't mean you have no presence.

I bet you can't play slide piano.

You know what you can gain when you sit down with the Moroccans. As a person and as a musician. That's how you grow.
