I Try To Practice With My Life.

Being Vulnerable Is Allowing Yourself To Trust. That's Hard For A Lot Of People To Do. They Feel A Lot More Secure If They Kind Of Put Walls Around Themselves. Then They Don't Have To Trust Anybody But Themselves. But To Allow You To Trust Not Only Yourself But Trust Others Means - Is What's Required To Be Vulnerable, And To Have That Kind Of Trust Takes Courage.

Jazz To Me Is The Spirit Of Freedom. I Mean Real Freedom. Freedom To Explore. Freedom To Express. Freedom To Pour Out Your Guts.

When A Human Being Is Oppressed, The Natural Tendency Is To Feel Anger. Jazz Is A Response To Oppression That Is Not Bullets And Blood. Jazz Is The Expression Of Harmony ... And At The Same Time Of Hope And Freedom.

I Have To Care And I Have To Be Honest And Have The Courage To Be Vulnerable. If That Happens, Then That's The Best I Can Do. To Just Be A Puppet For The Audience Is Not Very Courageous. Just To Do Whatever They Say They Want - Because A Lot Of Times People Will Hear Something New That They Hadn't Heard Before And Get Turned On By A New Experience And Will Want To Hear More Of That.

You Would Not Exist If You Did Not Have Something To Bring To The Table Of Life.
