Jazz is played from the heart. You can even live by it. Always love it.
The fact that I'm virtually deaf. Any woman who's going to date a rock musician has to be prepared to repeat herself every 10 seconds. My wife asks me where we should go for dinner and it sounds like the schoolteacher from Charlie Brown.
Some people have lives; some people have music.
It's all about the music. For me, that's truly what I live for. Just music constantly. Always listening to, writing, or playing music. That's definitely me.
I want a life that makes music - not just practices the piano.
If North American musicians would only know how uncomfortable life is for European musicians.
The first thing I think about is music, and the last thing I think about is music. I'm like some Monk. I don't see a lot of daylight. I hang out with musicians, I hang out with directors and I just try to spend as much of my life as possible playing music.
Music. I live it and breathe it. It wakes me up in the morning, puts me to sleep at night and is with me all day.
