My first wife was a theater person.

Rock n' roll really belongs to all America. It really doesn't belong to one city.

My father was in Ataturk's closest group. They lived together during the War of Liberation in Turkey.

Lonnie was ahead of his time, but at the same time he was right in there with Albert Collins's Cool Sounds.

I always dreamed of writing in an orchestral context. But when you finish a piece, you want to hear it. So we played everything with Phish.

I don't know who's worse with little boys, Mario or Michael Jackson.
