A daily blog would just about finish me off completely.

I've been scared and I've liked not hanging on to stuff where I know that I'm in my comfort zone.

I wanted my voice to be a tenor sax, really.

I use the music almost as a compass in some kind of quasi-romantic way. I try and go to places that I'm intrigued by, and I take this music with me, using my name at the front.

There's so many parts of your life, you know? People say that you don't get any better after the age of about forty or something like that, as a performer. I find all that to be a misconception. I don't feel bad about the way I present stuff. The calendar and the mirror - they're bastards.

Soon, I'm going to need help crossing the street.

Don't be hard on yourself. And take as many chances, risks, as you can.
