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

After a while I thought it didn't make any sense to use a pick. It's kind of like typing with one finger on each hand instead of using all your fingers.

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.

The belief that we are what the media says we are, what people perceive we are, is soon to be what we think we are. We are treated based on this warped perception. It is hard to get away from it.

Inspiration is one thing and you can't control it, but hard work is what keeps the ship moving. Good luck means, work hard. Keep up the good work.

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

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