I actually think that bass is probably the instrument that has evolved in a quantum leap compared to other instruments. It's the instrument that's evolved the most, especially with how it's perceived. And even how it's played, and how it's viewed from a point of view of commerce, like with the music industry.

The point is, technology has empowered so many musicians, you know?

Bass players are always the intellectual kind, but nobody knows it.

I really like sometimes to do action pictures; I get a really big kick out of doing those.

I don't think a guy that really has no understanding about people, or has no interest in understanding people would make a good film composer.

When you win a Grammy, it links a certain prestige and importance to you, you know? People want to talk to you.

You can actually go to school and college to learn how to play and get technical with the electric bass.
