Even if it is difficult playing with other people - sometimes it's great, sometimes it isn't, but that is kind of the point of it. It loses its point playing solo.

I like duos with percussionists. I like the songs that percussionists sing.

I wouldn't want to be ideological about it but I think of it as being the best way to approach this kind of playing. I don't think it works in other music, other kinds of playing.

Playing music is not really susceptible to theory much. Circumstances affect it so much.

Younger players in this music often turn out to be middle aged; it is not a young music.

I'm not much into current electronic stuff, what I think of as lounge electronics, mumbling electronics.

Free improvisation, in addition to being a highly skilled musical craft, is open to use by almost anyone - beginners, children, and non-musicians.

I am drawn to roles that are strong, intelligent, and a little edgy. With Complications, I navigate my character Samantha Ellison through some really emotionally challenging times.

Florida feels we owe a great debt to our neighboring states.

Love is jealous that any should come before her, or after. She would be all in all. If a man will trust her and live in her, he shall know all things.

Personally, I don't like watching films about victims - people where you're meant to think, 'Oh, this is terrible,' and you go home feeling really depressed.

I wake up to my three dogs and my wife in bed and the kids, and those are the best gifts that I have.

What always seems miraculous is when aesthetic necessities yield an insight which otherwise I would have missed.

Learn to trust your instincts. Only something dead goes with the tide. Only something living can go against it.
