Life isn't moving quickly - time moves very quickly.

It's crucial that I kind of keep up, without drifting into the backslapping land of cliche and lifetime achievement awards.

Possibly the whole creative whirlwind of any musician's life is based on garnering and developing and absorbing more and more experience.

All over the world, the idea of creating an melange of international musics, it's a very healthy thing.

Finding another way to do what I know I can do pretty well. A way that stimulates me. I'm always on some sort of learning curve. If I can continually be surprised then I'm alert.

There's not a lot of towns that I can go to and take family - too many incongruous knocks on doors - "Hello, honey. Have you missed me?"

Circumspection is not one of my better, favorite conditions, really.
