I found that jazz musicians, possibly more than their classical counterparts, wear long-standing friendships easily and gracefully.
But, I would be naive not to recognize the number of musicians who tell me they have been influenced by me and sight me - as well as Alex and Neil - as a musician who has been a positive influence on their playing.
I get really insecure because even though I can speak in musician's terms, I don't know as much as real musicians.
After the war, once the bop revolution had taken hold, there were all kinds of young musicians, talented young musicians, who were ready for this fusion of classical and jazz.
It's me. I chose this. I chose all of this — this rock has been waiting for me my entire life. I’ve been moving towards it my whole life.
I'm not a rock star. Sure I am, to a certain extent because of the situation, but when kids ask me how it feels to be a rock star, I say leave me alone, I'm not a rock star. I'm not in it for the fame, I'm in it because I like to play.

I would say country is the one type of music I've spent the least amount of time with in my life. I grew up in Virginia, where there was a lot of it, but I was more interested in rock and roll. Southern rock.
The biggest problem in rock journalism is that often the writer's main motivation is to become friends with the band. They're not really journalists; they're people who want to be involved in rock and roll.
An egg does not fight a rock.
Envy sees the sea but not the rocks.
I'm ready to rock and roll.
Rock stars are good at making noise.
Rock's so good to me. Rock is my child and my grandfather.
I don't listen to a ton of rock music.
I listen to a lot of indie or rock music.
I've done the country, done the pop-rock, done the super-hard electro.
Def Leppard is a rock band that can sing.
Rocks need no protection from the rain.
Rock and roll is here to stay.
