Artists today think of everything they do as a work of art. It is important to forget about what you are doing - then a work of art may happen.

I don't write my own songs. I don't have time.

Baikida Carroll, whose balance of bravada and tenderness, facility and understatement mark him as a player to be reckoned with.

Why would anyone want to turn back time? There is no meaning in regret, no point in thinking about thing I could have done. Because there is no guarantee that any decision is the right one.
