Sad music, I always thought, is more beautiful than other music. But at the same time, I am in my personal life a very happy guy. I have a sense of humor. I am not the kind of depressed guy all the time brooding. No. I am very enthusiastic about things.

My music is jazz.

I'm a sentimental guy.

I like to say, jazz music is kind of like my musical equivalent of comfort food. You know, it's always where I go back to when I just want to feel sort of grounded.

I really love jazz, but I will never be a jazz musician as much as I dream. But, I think that the jazz music I love is there in my music.

I have a fondness for jazz, particularly for jazz singers, Billie Holiday and Ella Fitzgerald all the way through the Sinatra era.

I love a lot of very sentimental music, but I shouldn't necessarily be the person who makes it.

Jazz is a constant theme in my life. My father is a jazz pianist, and from an early age I have been surrounded by it.

I like to listen to classical music... I like mainline jazz.

I have such a love of good music that I find even melancholic music uplifting. Maybe I'm a rare breed.
