You can work on the saxophone alone, but ultimately you must perform with others.

I'm really lucky that my record companies have been patient with me and leave me alone and give me the time to make it right in my mind.

I think sometimes all you need is to hear someone else say the same thing that you're going through to realize that you're not alone. I try to put some sense of hope into the songs, into whatever the situation is so that it's not just dirt, drudgery and a life of misery.

It's only when you're alone that you realize where you are. You have nothing to fall back on except your own resources.

The best part about being with a group is that you don't have to do everything alone. You're with your friends.
