Chick Corea

I got a chance to listen to and watch Thelonious Monk and his quartet play two shows a night, for six weeks. It was a great education. There was my university, man.

It's made music more accessible with YouTube and the ability to trade audio files. But it hasn't made it more popular.

My wife, Gayle, is a wonderful musician and singer. We share music, so it's a deep bond.

As a young child my attention span was, as I remember it, rather short.

I'd date someone younger or older; age doesn't matter to me. Or looks, really - it's all about maturity.

Another thing that freaks me out is time. Time is like a book. You have a beginning, a middle and an end. It's just a cycle.
