I think playing solo is a second rate activity, really. For me, playing is about playing with other people.

I like duos with percussionists. I like the songs that percussionists sing.

I wouldn't want to be ideological about it but I think of it as being the best way to approach this kind of playing. I don't think it works in other music, other kinds of playing.

Playing music is not really susceptible to theory much. Circumstances affect it so much.

Younger players in this music often turn out to be middle aged; it is not a young music.

Those lips had curved into a knowing half smile that did funny things to her insides. And like a match tossed to gasoline, her body sparked alive and flames licked every inch of her.

Don't ever be scared to dream because everything is possible, no matter how bizarre. I was and still am a dreamer and that's what made me become the person I am today

... the weakest among us has a gift, however seemingly trivial, which is peculiar to him, and which, worthily used, will be a gift also to his race forever.

I don't mind the audience identifying me with Red.
