Herbie Mann

I recently formed a foundation to raise awareness for prostate cancer. I feel it's very necessary that men be more aware about prostate cancer and their health in general.

I always say, if you keep your head in the sand, you don't know where the kick's coming from.

I had sat in one day in Central Park with Bonnie and Delaney, and Duane was playing with them, so I asked if he wanted to work on an album. You never had to say to him how to play the guitar.

I have a naturally camp sensibility and a camp sense of humour. I love the icons that gay people love.

My father loved Brazilian football, a diehard follower, so of course, he hated Germany and always rooted against them, always.

We played in Texas about a year ago, at Emo's, the famous country and western club in Austin. And I figured, well, if I'm finally gonna die onstage, that's where it's going to be!
