The market didn't define the music the music defined the market.

I never do anything to strictly satisfy a fickle, ever-changing commercial world. I do the music I like to play. It's the only way I feel comfortable existing in the industry.

The trio is the biggest sound you can have with the smallest unit.

Yeah, it's more like playing what you think is appropriate for the moment, not forcing any particular style.

That's the exact concept behind the music: to take that kind of, I guess whatever you want to call it, jazz sensibility - but not have it be about solos.

I do dig the White Stripes. I like the record they have out now.

I certainly hope my music is in no way, shape or form influenced by anything that would be known as a jam band. If it is, then I'm going to do something else.

The future belongs to those who believe in the beauty of their dreams.

Even though that we were all born to win, but the reality is, only those who are consistent with the right effective actions get to live as winners.

The last thing one knows when writing a book is what to put first.

You don't know your presence of tomorrow, so why to WASTE today?!!!

Nothing is hopeless; we must hope for everything.

Wealth is the ultimate panacea to poverty.

Zen is a very quick path. Zen is the path of meditation. The word Zen means emptiness or fullness, meditation. Meditation is the quickest path to enlightenment.

I am not looking to be understood or liked. Like me or not, I don't care. I am an outsider, that is the way I was brought up.

We can secure other people's approval, if we do right and try hard; but our own is worth a hundred of it, and no way has been found out of securing that.

We all look good for our age. Except for our necks.
