I need to hear what I am doing in order to create the next note. If I don't hear it then I can't feed myself.

Holding a note is a very difficult thing - you have to use your whole body to achieve a perfect pitch.

The beauty of it is when you can just show up and hit the notes.

Notes are tricky in an audition, because I find, more often than not, my instinct is right.

I play more rhythmically than I do a lot of notes.

Being in music forever, I have good pitch, so I know when I'm singing in or out of tune. But the key to really good singing is just relaxing and thinking about what the song is.

It's impossible to play a run with as much feeling as a single note. I've never been so much into runs as making single notes cry.

I've got more low notes than I had when I started.

When you play, it's like you know that there are people out there who are hearing it for the first time, and I think that's really important.
