You can't just walk away when somebody recognizes you. You have to take some time out and talk to them. It's not a waste of time - I just love talking to people. And I don't do this to sell records. The truth is, I do what I do because I love it.

I listen to all the top 20 songs, and top 20 albums, even the rap albums. But I don't like negative messages. If somebody is putting a lot of ego out there, I don't like it. When I make my records I want it to be sincere.

I'm responsive to my public, but I also follow my heart.
Kenny G
Image
I learned so much about playing and touring being on the road and in the studio with Jeff, but I'd always played a lot of gigs in Seattle even prior to joining the Fusion.
Kenny G
Image
The Moment is an album that contains the best music I have ever produced.
Kenny G
Image
I've never personally criticized anyone else's music, but I know that the public's real problem is not the music I make but the perception that I play simple music for money only and for the notoriety and to increase my popularity.
Kenny G
Image
I think everybody has to kind of decide what the word 'jazz' means to them, and that's fine.
Kenny G
Image
I've never really played golf. With the sax, I learned technique well enough so that it feels like part of my body, and I just express myself. That's where I want to get in golf.
Kenny G
Image
The whole rise of new adult contemporary music and smooth jazz was a nice surprise.
Kenny G
Image
It wasn't until Duotones that I felt my true voice come out.
Kenny G
Image
That's my ideal day, time with my boys.
Kenny G
Image
Just because people play songs with great technique doesn't mean the records are better.
Kenny G
Image
Maybe I'm a dreamer, but I think the ordinary guy has just as much right to say 'This is a good song' as somebody who is in the music business.
