The thing that we possess, that machines don't, is the ability to exhibit wisdom.

We've been looking at machines for so long, I really wish the technology community would look at human beings first for a change, let's balance the thing out.

One thing I like about jazz is that it emphasized doing things differently from what other people were doing.

The cool thing is that jazz is really a wonderful example of the great characteristics of Buddhism and great characteristics of the human spirit. Because in jazz we share, we listen to each other, we respect each other, we are creating in the moment. At our best, we're non-judgmental.

One thing that sticks in my mind is that jazz means freedom and openness. It's a music that, although it developed out of the African American experience, speaks more about the human experience than the experience of a particular people.

World peace is no longer some pie-in-the-sky thing, because no single person or country is going to solve it on their own.
