Even though I'm not Jewish...Israel is one of the few causes I feel good about supporting.

I really feel that if you're gonna be good, you gotta practice... Practice whatever the hell you do.

What I've got to live up to, is being myself. If I do that, the rest will take care of itself.

When I'm having a rehearsal and there are new guys who come in to try out for the job, I always let my conductor rehearse them. Because I don't want the guy to get bent out of shape, because I walk in.

Just because you can't see anything , doesn't mean you should shut your eyes.

The important thing is to feel your music, really feel it and believe it.

I heard someone say that all black people got rhythm. Bullshit.
