The piano is like an orchestra - I'm very fortunate that I chose it as my instrument.

My mother gave me a choice. She said, 'Would you like to take singing lessons or piano.' I'm glad I chose piano.

I remember coming home from school - I couldn't wait to get to the piano so I could play and practice.

To me living and music are all the same thing. And I keep finding out more about music as I learn more about myself, my environment, about all kinds of different things in life. I play what I live. Therefore, just as I can't predict what kinds of experiences I'm going to have, I can't predict the directions in which my music will go. I just want to write and play my instrument as I feel.

I really do enjoy accompanying people - it's a challenge and a joy when you get it right.

Jazz is not gonna be a dinosaur and stay around in one form.
