I've always stood on one fact - that all over the world, there are only two things, the Establishment and the poor people. The poor people are a massive majority and across the world they are exploited in different kinds of ways. The Establishment depends on exploiting raw materials and the poor.

Wynton Marsalis

Andrea Bocelli
Image
I try to put a lot of our music in my music - by that I mean of American music.
Wynton Marsalis
Image
Lyrically I like to use themes that make the listener use his or her imagination, and to give a little of the lessons I've learned in my own life.
Ronnie James Dio
Image
When you are trying to do something when you are getting started and you are trying to make records for the first time, you want it to be the best.
