When you're on stage you have a very strange knowledge of what the audience is. It isn't exactly a sound - it's a hum, like the streets.

Wynton Marsalis is jazzy the same way someone who drives a BMW is sporty.

If music is sound & came from silence, then silence is potentially greater than sound.

Creativity is what makes humanity move. We were created to participate.

Silence is the potential from which music can arise.

If a person plays dissonance long enough, it will sound like consonance. It's a language that was alien and then it's less and less alien as it continues to live.

I'm my own most merciless critic onstage.
