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 approach everything in my life the same way; if it feels right, I know it.

It's important to let each artist do what makes him or her feel comfortable. Success should be a by-product of that.

I've never really played golf. With the sax, I learned technique well enough so that it feels like part of my body, and I just express myself. That's where I want to get in golf.

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

Being a purely instrumental album, it makes a musical statement, not a religious one, and I hope that people can feel the emotion of the great melodies, even without the words.

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