I don't know if I would qualify as mainstream. I think I have managed to function pretty successfully on the fringes of the music world and have been able to play exactly what I have wanted the way I have wanted

As much as I have done collaborations over the years, I am actually kind of a reluctant partner.

What I look for in musicians is a sense of infinity

And if I ever DO see [Kenny G] anywhere, at any function - he WILL get a piece of my mind, and maybe a guitar wrapped around his head.

The first thing I learned was the theme from Peter Gunn.

I love playing and working on music. It is something that I feel really lucky to be able to spend my life doing. And I don't sleep much!

More and more as time has gone on, I realize that playing is really more about listening than it is about playing.
