Robert Glasper

Jazz is like a big secret club. The mainstream media doesn't pay any attention to it; it's, like, 1 percent of the music market - no one cares. Why? Because the majority of jazz is old.

I feel like certain people think that certain styles of music will taint their jazz style.

I do feel a responsibility because most people like me that are my age or younger, they don't quite make it over to the jazz side. They flirt with it, but they don't quite marry it.

My musical influences are from the '50s: Bill Evans, Miles Davis and Ahmad Jamal.

The splendid empire of Charles the Fifth was erected upon the grave of liberty.

Lynda Carter, I think the reason I liked her was because she was so down to earth. Even though she was a big star and she was Miss America, she was very approachable.
