Soy sauce is really a multi-purpose seasoning.

In general I love to eat anything. I enjoy anything that is well prepared, a good spaghetti, lasagna, taco, steak, sushi, refried beans.

Let us not judge others, because we simply don't know that had we lived their life, we might be exactly the same.

Our father taught us how to play. He's also our biggest inspiration and he opened our ears to a lot of older music, like Richie Valens, Chuck Berry, Willie Nelson, and Fats Domino.

There is a gulf fixed between those who can sleep and those who cannot. It is one of the greatest divisions of the human race.

It feels like my job is to support people. I support great artists. When I worked with a symphony, I sat in the third chair, not the first chair.
