There are a few countries that, for whatever reason, really enjoy listening to my music.

The whole rise of new adult contemporary music and smooth jazz was a nice surprise.

I practice my saxophone three hours a day. I'm not saying I'm particularly special, but if you do something three hours a day for forty years, you get pretty good at it.

The resource of life is everywhere, even in the smallest of things and we're never very far from it.

You cannot afford to rely on history, you have to make it.

Autumn is no time to lie alone

We are dealing with veterans, not procedures; with their problems, not ours.

I'm very proud that a woman, has finally been chosen as a candidate for the president of the United States, because I always felt women should be treated like first-class citizens.
