I've never really played golf. With the sax, I learned technique well enough so that it feels like part of my body, and I just express myself. That's where I want to get in golf.

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.

Contentment and gratitude are signs that you are worthy of further receivership.

Learn to thank God for the things you want but cannot have. Matthew 6:25-34.

Elegance is like manners. You can’t be polite only on Wednesday or Thursday. If you are elegant, you should be every day of the week. If you are not, then it’s another matter.

If peace is our single aim in all we do, we will always know what to do because we will do whatever will protect and deepen our peace.

I wanna be strong, I wanna laugh along, I wanna belong to the living. Alive, alive, I wanna get up and jive, Wanna wreck my stockings in some jukebox dive.

Consistency isn't behaving the same way all the time.

There is a real connection between Philosopy and fiction.

There's been a sort of mini-revolution, an uprising, as was long overdue, about these subject matters: ethnicity and gender equality.

But it seems to me that if God had intended for you to cover your face then, in His wisdom, He would have provided you with a flap of skin for the purpose.

I'm a politician. I'm not going to get into a whole range of scientific argument with scientists.
