I'm getting to a point where everything is becoming streamlined in my life. I'm learning how to stand onstage for two hours and play in front of thousands of people as if I am completely in the moment every moment.

I love learning new techniques.

Unprovided with original learning unformed in the habits of thinking unskilled in the arts of composition I resolved to write a book.

In many ways it was much much harder to get the first book contract. The hardest thing probably overall has been learning not to trust people publicists and so forth implicitly.

I think people are learning to actually aspire to be objectified.

And I like asking questions to keep learning people with big egos might not want to look unsure.

When you are learning about a martial art it is about respect.

Jazz is the big brother of the blues. If a guy's playing blues like we play he's in high school. When he starts playing jazz it's like going on to college to a school of higher learning.

Everybody's a work in progress. I'm a work in progress. I mean I've never arrived... I'm still learning all the time.

We started this band as kids and as time has gone on we've grown and are learning to accommodate each others' differences.
