Fortunately, an extremely sexy, pixie-voiced blond named Ronnie Harran, who booked the Whisky, saw us...She had an ear for talent...the Whisky was finally a gig we could be proud of.

I believe in the mystery, and I don't want to take it any further than that. Maybe what I mean by that is love.

In your twenties, everything makes you crazy.

We have our own little heartbeat, too. We already have what I would call polyrhythms going on.

The more the ensemble, the duet or the forty piece orchestra, plays as one person, the more it makes people dance, because you're back in the womb. You feel mom's heartbeat. It makes you move. It reminds you of that warm, groovy space you were in.

Why is there such passion for any sort of gossipy, provocative sensual stuff? It sells!

If you're playing live, I like to think of the ensemble, whether it's the duet or a forty piece orchestra, as one person. And the entire audience, whether it's twelve people or twelve thousand at Madison Square Garden, is the other person. The two of you are going to dance together tonight.

Going first is courageous. I'm just talking on a spirit level now.

I've been a longtime supporter of all sorts of environmental groups.

Bass players and drummers are brothers in the basement cooking up the groove that makes people move.

I was raised Catholic. I didn't appreciate the guilt and sin part of it.

Being in a band is like polygamy without the sex.

If an ensemble - I don't care if it's a duet or a forty-piece orchestra - the musicians, the two of them or the forty of them, are all trying to play as tight as possible, as one person. They're trying to play like they are one person.
