I'm a dweller of the threshold and I'm waiting at the door, and I'm standing in the darkness, I don't want to wait no more.

I realized that what I was looking for was doing collaborations with other people - people who can play a ballad, rock, jazz. I was looking for more co-op type things than what I had been doing, which had been completely my own trip.

It's a marvelous night for a moondance!

Basically I got an insight into what it really was through Alcoholics Anonymous. One day the switchboard lit up and I saw where it was all going. I saw what alcohol could do to people and I saw that it wasn't a good thing anymore. Plus I wasn't a teenager anymore myself.

I understood jazz, I understood how it worked. That's what I apply to everything.

You can put out an album and it could be totally out of the window as far as what you want to do performance-wise.

I have some intellectual-type pursuits, like studying philosophy and stuff like that.
