 But, the truth is that everyone is somebody already. |
| When I was in my early teens, I remember coming to the conclusion that your life never ends. |
| You can practice to attain knowledge, but you can't practice to attain wisdom. |
| I've been a religious, spiritual person for a long time. |
| The thing that we possess, that machines don't, is the ability to exhibit wisdom. |
| While knowledge may provide useful point of reference, it cannot become a force to guide the future. |
| I try to practice with my life. |
| I'm always looking to create new avenues or new visions of music. |
| It pulled me like a magnet, jazz did, because it was a way that I could express myself. |
| Being a musician is what I do, but it's not what I am. |
| One thing that attracted me to Buddhism was the support for this larger vision of values. |
| We are eternally linked not just to each other but our environment. |
| Jazz has borrowed from other genres of music and also has lent itself to other genres of music. |
| It's not the style that motivates me, as much as an attitude of openness that I have when I go into a project. |
| See, there were certain rules I'd always used, and people like Trane, they would break those rules. |
| You would not exist if you did not have something to bring to the table of life. |
| I feel a lot more secure about the directions I take, than I might have, had I not practiced Buddhism. |
| When I was coming up, I practiced all the time because I thought if I didn't I couldn't do my best. |
| Music happens to be an art form that transcends language. |
| It is people's hearts that move the age. |
