I’m a fan of many different styles of classical and symphonic music.

I’m very honored and thankful if someone says something nice about my playing, but in general I’m very critical of what I do.

As far as current inspiration, I’m listenting to a lot of flamenco, because the techniques used for flamenco can be adapted to playing bass.

I didn’t follow the standard rules of bass playing, and many musicians on many different instruments who became noteworthy for their unique or particular style did a very similar thing.

It’s not art, it’s science.

Be honest with yourself and the way you act when you hear music. That way, when people watch, they’ll see something from your heart and soul, and as a result will communicate your feeling and thought much better.

I’ve been an amature inventor for a long time.

I'm a fan of a lot of classical music.

I've seen it happen when the first rock bands played in the 60s, and they played simple music, and got more complicated and complex as they moved on.

Well, I love living in Los Angeles - the weather is great and I love my home here.
