I can't play any instrument for the life of me, but I know what I want to hear.

I think John Williams, him and his team, have been incredible orchestrators. By that, I mean how he chooses which instrument plays which note.

Everybody is someone else's instrument.

I wish I played an instrument, but I could never decide which one, and I ended up playing nothing.

My father was always playing the piano. He played all kinds of music - Gershwin, all kinds of stuff.

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

But I've come to the point in my evolution on the instrument where I realize that I can't play the same stuff that just a guitar player or organ player would play - and I need to embrace that in a big way.

I don't remember consciously not being able to play an instrument. It's been kind of like a language for me.

As far as other instrumentalists, I used to love mellow sax players like Paul Desmond. I love piano.

At last a dream come true. The Instrument of Instruments.
