Quote

I'm not really sure if I have anything that inspires me.

You don't know what inspires you. You like to think you know what inspires you, but in the final analysis I don't think you really do. It's great to look at a blank sheet of paper, you know, and walk up to an instrument and not know what's gonna happen. It's the most challenging thing I do.

If somebody can inspire me, it feels really special.

What inspires me? I am so inspired every day. I am inspired by thinkers. I am inspired by rebellion. I am inspired by children. I have been inspired by love.

I inspire myself.

I am not influenced by other human beings. But I am inspired.

Everybody that I meet inspires me. You can learn so much from any person that you meet any day on the side of the street.

My parents and my grandmother inspire me every day and, every day, in my work and personal life.
