Allow The Artist To Finish The Piece

It's Funny, I Think After You Are A Star Like Sting And You No Longer Think You Need Any Guidance Or Aid - It Would Be Great To See Those Stars Work With Other Songwriters.

I Think All Musicians Should Understand That You Have Chosen Not To Be A Soldier But A Musician.

My Father Was A Jazz Tenor Sax Player. He Played In A Lot Of Big Bands. So I Had That Sound Around Me All The Time. The First Record That Really Caught My Ear Was Clifford Brown's 'brownie Eyes.' I Grew Up Listening To John Coltrane And Illinois Jacquet. This Is Where I Come From... I Love Improvisational Music.

You Make A Choice To Make Music Or Be An Actor, And People Automatically Think They Can Have Access To Your Life.

There's No Hierarchy In Suffering. I Think Songs That Are Transcendent Are The Ones Where Everyone Can Feel Something From It, You Know?
