I would much prefer that they take me as I am, that way the experience is genuine between the both of us.

I'm really looking forward to playing in Copenhagen again. Last time I stayed as long as I could, took pictures, signed autographs, and hung out until they through me out of the place!

I work with many jazz artists as Miles Davis, Laughlin, etc.. One of the things all these artists had in common is that they had no fear.

The majority of the people I work with are more than musicians and singers, they are personal friends and friends help each other.

Well, since I produce and pay for my own albums, it is the ultimate freedom.

At the end of '69 I did a gig with Jean Luc Ponty here in L.A. He was an electric violinist.

I mean this record does not sound like somebody's maiden voyage.

Im also working on a track for Howard Hewett, and a theme for a new NPR show.

I grew up with Al Jarreau. We had a band together and worked these places for three years when neither one of us knew we could make a living doing music.

The replacement of independent bookstores by firms such as Barnes & Noble, Waterstones or Borders superficially provided a wide range of reading, but their policies further limited choice.

College is about exposing students to many things and creating an aphrodisiac atmosphere so that they might fall in lifelong love with a few.

In life we all have choices.

If you walk backwards, you will never stub your toe.

So dear to Heaven is saintly chastity, That, when a soul is found sincerely so, A thousand liveried angels lacky her, Driving far off each thing of sin and guilt.

The pressures having grown up in this business can be really rough. And it is a testament to you that you have remained focused and NOT lost your mind.

Children have very little voice, and the coroner's inquest is about Luke's voice, and making sure Luke is heard and respected and honoured. I don't want him to have died in vain.

I am better able to retract what I did not say than what I did.

The Ironman World Championship is the hardest race I've competed in. Not only do the elements (heat, wind, humidity) make it grueling, but the quality of the field makes it a true test.

Life is beautiful. It's about giving. It's about family.
