For me, music and life are all about style.

Audiences - they like colour, you know. I can go out there wearing a red suit, man, and they'll say I'm out of sight ... I think they should be educated; you should always drop something on an audience ... When you get in front of an audience, you should try to give 'em something. After all, they're there looking at you like this. You can't go out and give 'em nothing.

You can't eat a winner's plaque.

I keep telling Ron Lorman and them in the control room, "It's my band! The reason I have a band is because I can't stand for somebody to tell me what to do."

Coltrane, you cant play everything at once!

The music speaks for itself!

You know why I quit playing ballads? Cause I love playing ballads.
