I Just See Myself As A Human

You Have To See Your Unimportance Before You Can See Your Importance And Your Significance To The World.

I've Got A Collection Of Songs That I've Had, I Keep Adding To And They're All Great American Composers. I Wanted To Showcase American Composers And I've Done That On A Lot Of My Records And Played Things By American Composers That I Really Respect.

The Whole Underlying Theme For The New Music... Is To Communicate Honest, Human Values, And In Doing That To Try To Improve The Quality Of Life.

There's Like A Special Group Of People That Come From Different Parts Of The Planet To Study With Me. It's Nice. I Just Gave A Workshop In Boston At The New England Conservatory, Which Was Really Nice.

I Told My Students The Other Day In Class, Which Is About The Spirituality And Creativity As Much As It Is About Music.

The Baby Looks At You: That's The Kind Of Moment You're In When You're Playing.
