One minute I'm standing at Ronnie Scott's getting a standing ovation and the next minute, I'm on a marble slab

My life is full of broken halos.

Music is a necessity. After food, air, water and warmth, music is the next necessity of life.

You're sitting with some guys, and you're playing and you go, "Ooh, yeah!" That feeling is worth more than anything. There's a certain moment when you realize that you've actually just left the planet for a bit and that nobody can touch you. You're elevated because you're with a bunch of guys that want to do the same thing as you. And when it works, baby, you've got wings. You know you've been somewhere most people will never get; you've been to a special place.

Hey, we just enjoy it. I think we think we're getting the hang of this thing, you know?

Rap - so many words, so little said.

If you've gotta think about being cool, you ain't cool.
