I'm just more into playing golf. It's a great thing.

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.

I really create everything I do from the heart.

I think everybody has to kind of decide what the word 'jazz' means to them, and that's fine.

What is music anyway? It's a form of communication, and that's why I play the kind of music that I think - that I hope - can communicate with people.

Maybe the biggest thing that I've learned musically is that anything is possible. Things can work when maybe they don't seem like they can.

I approach everything in my life the same way; if it feels right, I know it.

I've learned that you simply can't control those bad vibes.

Just figure out what you think jazz is, and then if it fits into that category, it's jazz, and if it doesn't, it isn't. It's no big deal.

I learned so much about playing and touring being on the road and in the studio with Jeff, but I'd always played a lot of gigs in Seattle even prior to joining the Fusion.

An echo from the past when, innocentWe looked upon the present with delightAnd doubted not the future would be kinderAnd never knew the loneliness of night.

We learned pretty early on in this band that you can't have snobbery in music.

Maybe I am naive about certain things. But I'm glad. I know all I want to know.

People find it a great blessing if their child left behind a child.

Nevertheless, she did not weep, because, for one thing, it would have made her eyes red, and another, it would be of very little use.

It doesn't matter what you do because it's going to happen anyway.

People follow proven formulas in any business.

The Democrats want you to lose your job.

Nobody has tried to swallow us since I've been here. I think they are afraid how we would taste.

An informed citizenry is at the heart of a dynamic democracy.
