If you're playing live, I like to think of the ensemble, whether it's the duet or a forty piece orchestra, as one person. And the entire audience, whether it's twelve people or twelve thousand at Madison Square Garden, is the other person. The two of you are going to dance together tonight.

If an ensemble - I don't care if it's a duet or a forty-piece orchestra - the musicians, the two of them or the forty of them, are all trying to play as tight as possible, as one person. They're trying to play like they are one person.

We have our own little heartbeat, too. We already have what I would call polyrhythms going on.

People forget that public people and celebrities, they too have to go to the bathroom and get divorced.

Bass players and drummers are brothers in the basement cooking up the groove that makes people move.

I don't play just one-two-three-four. I try to play melodies.
