If you've only got one horn playing, I still want the sense of ensemble.

I was determined to play my horn against all odds, and I had to sacrifice a whole lot of pleasure to do so.

I love horns, and the bigger the band, the better it sounds to my ear.

I love the French horn.

Horns always influenced me more than voices.

Each instrument has something to say to you. It's got its own character. Each horn has its own character and will say to you certain things. If you violate that, it's almost a sacrilege!

But if I didn't have to make money, I would still play my horn.

I can play every instrument there is, every horn, I've played all the saxes and trumpets and everything and keyboards.

So it's really hard for a horn player to comp. But I'm totally into trying to switch those paradigms around and find a little magic space where that works, and try to mine that.

I've played everything but a harp.
