They always want to sell me as a hard bopper.

That was the biggest thrill, going over to these guy's houses and having them want me to practice with them and they would show me a lot of stuff, which was really advanced stuff to me at my age.

I advise all the young kids to not overwork. You can't be out there blowing hard. You have to pace yourself.

Education has always been very important to me.

I quit drinking, so I can think clear. When you have chop trouble, drinking doesn't help the healing process.

I always knew I was a star And now, the rest of the world seems to agree with me.
