I'm a player and I do it because I love playing whether it's for my album or someone else's.

I'm in that comfortable niche where I'm not that famous and sometimes people do need to put a barrier between them and their followers. When you're real famous you need to do that but I'm not that famous so I don't need that kind of barrier.

For me, if the music is good, whether the artist is famous or unknown, I love being part of the music and contributing what I can to the bass end.

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

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

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.
