It's really cool to hear your stuff in things like TV shows. It's a pretty cool feeling to hear what you did in the studio and then to hear it in places like that. It's definitely surreal.

When I was a young teenager, it was all about The Clash for me and that sort of English punk stuff. Then the Clash led me to all these other kinds of music: classic rock, Stevie Wonder, world music, and Brazilian music. I got serious about jazz when I was probably about 14 or 15.

I think my signature dance move might be some sort of '80s new wave pogo, which I only break out on very special occasions. It will only last for about three seconds. Then I go back to a very subtle, less-is-more approach.

I'm still waiting for rock bands to come back, something raw and relevant.

Adjusting to the passage of time, I think, is a key to success and to life: just being able to roll with the punches.

I don't think individual achievement in business is the most meaningful way for it to operate.

Periods of tranquility are seldom prolific of creative achievement. Mankind has to be stirred up.

The manic pursuit of success cost me everything I could love: my wife, my three children, some friends I would have liked to grow old with.
