[Jazz] is a music of freedom and wonder. It's our indigenous art form, and I'm still blessed to travel around the world and people lay out the carpet for us, so it's quite touching.

The youngster in me is still alive and kicking. I was infected by music at a very young age, so it's always kept me younger than springtime.

I think when you love music, you love a lot of it. Now when it comes to jazz, it's very much in the hyperions of height. You go exploring every night.

All my life I'm trying to go forward and trying to grow.

I think that music makers just really bless the planet.

Tim Price is truly blessed - he plays music because he loves it.

In a crooked mind even the right thing gets crooked.

Time is the Illusion that conditions matter.

Dad taught me everything I know, but he would never tell me anything he knew.

I really just appreciate good jewelry, clarity, gold. I think gold is made for kings and pharaohs - that's what I am. That's why I rock gold and, you know, stuff like that.

The Internet is a perfect diversion from learning... it opens many doors that lead to empty rooms.

I have a pathological fear of being on my own. When I'm with my own thoughts, I start to unravel myself, and I start to think really dark thoughts, self-destructive thoughts.

Lyall had spent centuries nibbling about the great layered cake that was polite society while Lord Akeldama acted the part of the frosting on its top.

Action is coarsened thought; thought becomes concrete, obscure, and unconscious.
