What is music anyway? It's a form of communication, and that's why I play the kind of music that I think - that I hope - can communicate with people.

I practice my saxophone three hours a day. I'm not saying I'm particularly special, but if you do something three hours a day for forty years, you get pretty good at it.

Just because people play songs with great technique doesn't mean the records are better.

I'm responsive to my public, but I also follow my heart.

I've learned that you simply can't control those bad vibes.

When I play live, I feel how the audience is going and follow and lead at the same time.

There are a few countries that, for whatever reason, really enjoy listening to my music.
