In the midst of creating, a person is raised to another level of consciousness that doesn't have that much to do with everyday thinking. It's as if you could imagine life before there were words.

The bass, no matter what kind of music you're playing, it just enhances the sound and makes everything sound more beautiful and full. When the bass stops, the bottom kind of drops out of everything.

As long as there are musicians who have a passion for spontaneity, for creating something thats never been before, the art form of jazz will flourish.

You have to see your unimportance before you can see your importance and your significance to the world.

If you strive to become a good human being with the qualities of generosity, humility and having reverence for life...just maybe you'll become a great musician.

Creative Arts raise a person to another level of consciousness as if you could imagine life before words.

Before music there was silence and the duet format allows you to build from the silence in a very special way.

Amy! Never underestimate the rare tears of man..because that's always a sign that he has lost hope, out of options and more dangerously has nothing to lose...

Listen to your bodies. You are constantly receiving information from your body about how to care for it and yourself.

I would like it if four people did a cartwheel all at once... so I can make a cart.

Donald Trump is going to be an unconventional president. I really think we have a great opportunity in front of us to fix problems, produce results, and improve people's lives.

there is still an overwhelming social compulsion-an insanity of consensus, if you will-to get rich from life rather than live richly, to “do well” in the world instead of living well.

I like a little bit of everything. I think I'll put on Guns 'N' Roses or Rolling Stones any day. But recently I like a band called Bastille, or The Weeknd I'm a big fan of as well.

I never killed anybody, I never raped anybody, I never committed no crimes that weren't honorable.
