Now that I am much older, I have had a number of sax players tell me I was responsible for them playing sax. Some of them I have admired over the years.

It's a matter of choosing what is most important to you and putting that first. Once you have recognized your true purpose in life, this becomes much easier.

The calm mind allows one to connect with the inner self, the Soul, the very source of our being. That's where the music lives. That's where my music comes from.

I wanted an electric train for Christmas but I got the saxophone instead.

I have no agenda - just to be loved. Somebody said to me, 'Whenever somebody says your name, a smile comes to their face.' That's a great accolade. I strive to keep it that way.

Tears may come and go, But there's one thing I know. All my life you're a friend of mine. You can depend on me. I'll be fine... 'Cause you're a friend of mine.

I do read music, but I prefer playing from the heart.

I take my job as a rock and roll sax player very seriously. To do it the way that I must do it, I must be in good condition. The better shape you're in, the harder you can rock.

Being involved in the well-being and advancement of one's own community is a most natural thing to do.

God will give you no more than you can handle.

It's love. It's two men - two strong, very virile men - finding that space in life where they can let go enough of their masculinity to feel the passion of love and respect and trust.

...the only thing really worth doing in this life is giving love to everyone around you.

The power of attraction is the attractive power of thoughts, imaginations, and love.

we have not yet developed a system of education that is not a system of indoctrination.

We are so Post-Modern that we don't realize how Post-Modern we are anymore.

A man may be humble through vainglory.

Even when I think I'm wrong I'm right. I am all-knowing.

I've always felt very comfortable with accents. Once I get an accent, I can do it, and that's just something I've been able to do my whole life.

in darkness and in hedges I sang my sour tone and all my love was howling conspicuously alone.

I look upon those who would deny others the right to urge and argue their position, however irksome and pernicious they may seem, as intellectual and moral cowards.

I couldn't have come close without my teammates' help because the Knicks didn't want me to make 100.
