If someone who knows what's going on comes up and says they liked the music, I appreciate that.
From John Lurie
I'd always maintained an image so that people wouldn't approach me.
Kenny G is not real jazz. I don't even think Wynton Marsalis is real jazz. I don't think Harry Connick Jr. is real jazz. If there is such a thing as real jazz, The Lounge Lizards is real jazz, Henry Threadgill is real jazz, Bill Frisell is real jazz, you know?
I've had encounters with animals that have been really mystical. I've always been really into animals. But the way they appear in the paintings, they come from my mind's eye more than: 'I'm gonna draw a dog now.' It isn't thought out: 'Now I'm gonna draw a bird.' They just appear.
I play music, I paint - these things come from your depths.
I've been through this fame thing before, when the band was big in '80, '81.
Acting scares me.
I guess I just want everything to be available immediately.
But, you know, I'd be happy just making music.
What I believe to be jazz is constructed and improvised music which is in the air right now. But I don't think that's most people's definition of jazz, you know? We don't know what we're talking about, because we don't know the definition.
