And I saw the sax line-up that he had behind him and I thought, I'm going to learn the saxophone. When I grow up, I'm going to play in his band. So I sort of persuaded my dad to get me a kind of a plastic saxophone on the hire purchase plan.

I don't know why, but I like the saxophone.

When I was five years old, my parents gave me a drum set for Christmas. My mom played the piano, and Dad played the saxophone badly. But that Christmas morning, I remember we all played together, and I thought it was the greatest day ever.

The saxophone is a very interesting machine, but I'm more interested in music.

I wanted to play saxophone, but all I could get were a few squeaks.

I wanted my voice to be a tenor sax, really.

When somebody turned me on to a Coltrane record around seventh grade, I took up saxophone.

Once I picked up an electric guitar, I lost interest in piano, and I just wanted to rock. I studied piano for so long, I got burned out on it.
