I'm a fan of many different styles of classical and symphonic music.

Music is always changing and the changes are unpredictable.

I didn't follow the standard rules of bass playing, and many musicians on many different instruments who became noteworthy for their unique or particular style did a very similar thing.

As far as current inspiration, I'm listenting to a lot of flamenco, because the techniques used for flamenco can be adapted to playing bass.

I believe the best persona to be onstage is the one that comes naturally.

History has repeated itself many times througout the ages.

It is never easy for anyone to have success in music.

I gave up a lot of things in exchange for my success.

Very often I suspend my musical sensibilities to enjoy music as a fan.

I'm very honored and thankful if someone says something nice about my playing, but in general I'm very critical of what I do.

I try to do my absolute best for the people who come see me play.

If we [humans] disappeared overnight, the world would probably be better off.

Inside each person is a divine being that yearns to come into full expression

We are not smart enough to leave things to the market.

I'm always looking for people to feel connected to me and inspired in their own right.

Playing frisbee with a five year old is amazingly similar to chasing after a frisbee.

God is able to do more than man can understand.
