I've always felt that distant train whistles heard in the dead of night are the universe's way of letting us know the best days are neither ahead nor behind us...they're happening right now, cradled in the palms of our hands. But that doesn't change the fact that the whiskey, weed, and romance eventually runs out and the night will soon turn to day. ↗

I'd like to die listening to a piece of music. I imagine this as so easy, so natural, but naturally it's quite impossible. Notes stab too softly. The wounds they leave behind may smart, but they don't fester. Melancholy and pain trickle out instead of blood. When the notes cease, all is peaceful within me again. ↗

I like so many different kinds of music just because all I did was listen to the radio as a kid. ↗

I basically taught myself how to sing and play by copying records, and that's just how it was for me. I know that's true for a lot of budding musicians out there - that's the thing that gets them inspired, is trying to learn their favorite songs. I think it's a great way to teach yourself. ↗

Music is the tool to express life - and all that makes a difference. ↗

Being a musician is what I do, but it's not what I am. ↗

Jazz has borrowed from other genres of music and also has lent itself to other genres of music. ↗

Since time is a continuum, the moment is always different, so the music is always different. ↗
