Ideally the point of music is community, not the player. Musicians are simply channels to link the audience to the music and to each other.

I feel a great responsibility to deliver for our audience ... I am like their servant, but there's only one honest way to lift people up, which is to feel genuinely elevated yourself. And the way to do that is follow your heart. That's all we try to do.

I absolutely love the Philharmonic. I also love rock guitar.

I am a prince I have it all, and I hear your foot steps on the wall, I wait in silence for your call, and take a shot and watch you fall.

If I had a ghost living on my street. I would try to stay alive, and offer him some meat!

I consider myself extremely lucky to have worked with so many great collaborators in my lifetime.

We want to have a spontaneous adventure. You can't plan an adventure, or it ceases to be one.
