I'm doing exactly what I always wanted to do, and I still like what I can do musically.

I'm always cracking up when I hear what people think I should be doing.

Naw, it - it never stops, man... You gotta be doing what you're supposed to be doing - whenever, however it's coming down, you know. If you're getting your butt kicked - you still gotta do what you gotta be doing.

I wanted to explore the connections between different kinds of music.

Music is like the soul of the planet.

I wanted to keep pushing the musical ideas I had about jazz, music from Africa and the Caribbean.
