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

If you play jazz, then you play with your fingers. If you're playing rock, you use a pick. There's really no rhyme or reason to that other than that's just the way it has been.

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 consider myself a serious musician. Doing a comedy show does not take away from that in any way.

I love both my parents dearly.

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