The worst part is doubt. When you doubt yourself, which we are taught to do, you get lost.

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

I am blessed to have Mom and Dad.

I really live a simple life and don't need very much to feel good and happy. Don't get me wrong; I believe you should get what you earn. Sometimes you have to fight for it.

Let your life be your music and let your music be your life.

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

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