Yes, alas, I've been on some recording sessions where the music wasn't good. Not so many, really, considering how many I've done. It's a very awkward situation because to do a recording well you focus on the positive of what will make the piece better.

People should decide what success means for them, and not be distracted by accepting others' definitions of success.

Through the years I've found that I prefer live playing to recording. I still do lots of recording - but I treasure the live shows.

We all have different musical instincts, and I think they're precious and should be respected.

Like most musicians, Im good at becoming immersed in the music that I am currently working on. We seldom lift up our heads to contemplate even the music we will be doing in the future, let alone what weve done in the past.

Like many musicians, I don't look back much... only concentrate on what music I'm doing, and occasionally look ahead.

The most fun is to play clubs, because you actually get to see the people.
