It's great to know that our old stuff still sounds good to our fans, just as it's wonderful to think that we've turned a few people on to jazz over the years.

Popularity has everything to do with business and nothing to do with music.

When you get a groove going, time flies.

What a beautiful world this will be What a glorious time to be free

What do you do with what you're given, and how do you transform it into something worthwhile?

Anthemic rock music is inherently fascist - anything intended to move huge masses of people is politically offensive to me.

I've never been comfortable as a lead performer, and I never wanted to be a singer, particularly.

Nobody can afford to appear more pleasant than they really are!

By faithful study of the nobler arts, our nature's softened, and more gentle grows.
