I like to play with people who can play simple and are not threatened by other musicians thinking they can't play. And that eliminates 99 percent of the musicians.

I have so many opinions about everything it just comes out during my music. It's a battle for me. I try not to be preachy. That's a real danger.

I need a new unit to sample and hold, but not an angry one, a new design, new design.

As soon as you start preaching, nobody wants to hear you because then you're a jerk.

It's a blue album, but it's not a blues album. I'm not pretending all of a sudden now I'm blues.

It's cool to go places where working people are happy.

As I get older, I get smaller. I see other parts of the world I didn't see before. Other points of view. I see outside myself more.
