The act of multitrack recording is the act of arranging.

All guys get into music because they love music and they also want to get the girls.

I look back and say, "This must have been somebody else." I am not going to tell you that when I was 4, I dreamed about all of this.

Hell, nobody knows where jazz is going to go. There may be a kid right now in Chitlin Switch, Georgia, who is going to come along and upset everybody.

The process is the most beautiful part.

I tell my kids and I tell proteges, always have humility when you create and grace when you succeed, because its not about you. You are a terminal for a higher power. As soon as you accept that, you can do it forever.

It's the attitude about life, man. Looking at the light instead of the dark. Looking at love instead of fear.
