I don't think I can ever escape from music.

As a musician I'm about expressing what's inside, and I think everyone has a song in them that they need to get out, whatever their gig is.

The thing about the banjo is, when you first hear it, it strikes many people as 'What's that?' There's something very compelling about it to certain people; that's the way I was; that's the way a lot of banjo players and people who love the banjo are.

You've got to really know your song, inside and out.

I'd hate to have to leave music, but if I got stuck some place, I would.

Once we're inside a tune, we can do anything with it.

I just sit down at the piano and rattle it off.

I want you to hear a new version of Dueling Banjos. Anyone else is welcome.

Nothing pleases me more than to go into a room and come out with a piece of music.

Music should be your escape.
