I have a sort of tactility about music. I go into record stores and just run my fingers over it, the spines.

I think people want very much to simplify their lives enough so that they can control the things that make it possible to sleep at night.

I'm not one who divides music, dance or art into various categories. Either something works, or it doesn't.

That's what improvising is like for me. There's no tollbooth between my impulse and my action.

There really is nothing I ever had access to that I didn't appreciate.

We get into ruts when we run with the first idea that pops into our head, not the last one.

As people who have commitments and obligations, we try to blockade emotions and go on our course towards excellence, and that's a lie. I've definitely paid a price. Everything is an exchange.
