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

I feel very honored to be playing with Bill Pierce. He's such a great musician.

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.

I wish I could sing. I love singers, but I am way too shy. Scares the hell out of me.

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

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.

Serious musicians are finding it harder and harder to have a voice in the world of music these days.
