My youngest son, who is now the drummer in my band, lives in Brooklyn. My oldest son is about to move out to California, and my daughters are both out of town.

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

I loved the Brazilian music I played. But this is finally me. For the first time I think it's really me.

For me Brazilian music is the perfect mix of melody and rhythm. It just bubbles rhythmically. If I had to pick just one music style to play if would be Brazilian.

Being selfish to me means that you have to look out for yourself and you don't have to sacrifice.
