I came up from growing up with a lot of Catholic guilt, a lot of punk rock, hipster guilt in the later years where I think people have thrown a lot of things on me. Where I always felt like I'm not supposed to tell the horn section what to play or I don't want to come off egotistical. ↗

I was in a Montessori school. There was a drum circle with all the kids passing around a little bongo drum. I was the last person in the circle, and when it got to me I played 'Shave and a Haircut, Two Bits' - in front of all the parents. Blew the crowd away at five years old. ↗

In spite of holidays when I was free to visit London theatres and explore the countryside, I spent four very miserable years as a colonial at an English school. ↗

There have been times in my life that I've had a ton of vices, and my demons have run amok for years and years and years. ↗

You know, my first album, some of those jokes I'd done for twelve years because I couldn't throw 'em out. ↗

When I was about 12 years old back in Houston, my Dad used to take us to the driving range. ↗
