My love life is like everyone else's - great, and then terrible.

I want someone who is open-minded, dedicated to whatever she is doing and isn't afraid to say I love you. As for looks, she shouldn't have three heads. I want a regular human being.

My love life is like everyone else's - great, and then terrible.

I thought people cared about music in a deep way, so I was writing to that spirit in people and in myself. It was me, thinking I knew what was up. Youth, who else can change the world?

Being as versatile as I am, I take offense to the notion that no serious musician would not be doing a late night talk show gig. One has to be open enough in other areas to be able to contribute to a show like this.

I had the fortunate experience to play with people from different schools of music. Sam Rivers is from the fundamentalist school of music.

I really worked with icons in the music business, which really had a strong effect on me. It wasn't just pick-up gigs.
