I believe it makes us all even closer believe it or not. We were all pretty close to begin with but I think it's done even more for us. It truly is a brotherhood and I'm glad to be a part of it.

I haven't been approached to do anything, but I would certainly make room for it. It was a really fun time.

It's kind of like family. I can't say that we go out to lunch and to the movies every day with each other. Everyone's fully grown adult women with lives.

Every now and then, a lot of bands doing the same kind of music will organically sprout up at once.

The new material fits very comfortably with the older stuff.

I met Rodney when I first moved to LA, so I'd say 20 years. He's the eternal teenager.

The first album is a classic record and I think the prototype of a sound that no one else does.

I'm friends with Carla Olsen and she's doing a lot of producing these days. She's getting quite a little collection of records that she's produced. She's real busy.

I think it's a reflection of the music business in general, which to me seems very fragmented.

I will be very grateful that I get to go out and play a song and get well paid for it.

Because usually in the past when I was in a big band, that was all I did.

Kamand, die every dayso you rememberto live.

An American orchestra doesn't want to play more than it has to. I respectfully disagree with that attitude.

I wanted to make sure that the environment of the shooting itself was not that controlled, and the way to go about that course was to work with as small a crew as possible.

By the grace of God and with His help, I shall one day be a Liszt in technique and a Mozart in composition

Fame is no sanctuary from the passing of youth... suicide is much easier and more acceptable in Hollywood than growing old gracefully.

Well, as you know, I'm really only happy when I'm on stage.

School is not meant for the poor, only for the rich.

President Obama is perhaps the smartest person I've ever worked with.

Happiness is not the acquisition of anything; it's the understanding of something.

A situation in a public office is secure, but laborious and mechanical, and without the great springs of life, hope and fear.
