My father is a real idealist, and he's all about learning. if i asked for a pair of nikes growing up, it was just a resounding 'no.' but if i asked for a saxophone, one would appear and next day and i'd be signed up for lessons. so anything to do with education or learning, my father would spare no expense.

You can take lessons to become almost anything: flying lessons, piano lessons, skydiving lessons, acting lessons, race car driving lessons, singing lessons. but there's no class for comedy. you have to be born with it. god has to give you this gift.

Switch to piano! no. really, if you like an instrument that sings, play the saxophone. at its best it's like the human voice. of course, it would be best if you could actually sing with your own voice. the saxophone is an imperfect instrument, especially the tenor and soprano, as far as intonation goes. therefore, the challenge is to sing on an imperfect instrument or 'voice' that is outside of your body. i love that challenge and have for over forty-five years. as far as playing jazz, no other art form, other than conversation, can give the satisfaction of spontaneous interaction.

Children in poverty aren't trying to get out of poverty; they're just trying to rip off a pair of nikes. so we indian people are a microcosm of what's happening in america. we are now consumers, and our culture has gone.

I like what oliver lakes does on the saxophone. the saxophone comes pretty close to the sound of the human voice and when oliver plays with other sax players, it's like a dialogue.

Ah swear, ah will croak if she asks me for a pair of nikes instead of christian louboutins!

It's strange, somebody asked for my autograph the other day. because i finished school and i'm not really doing anything at the moment, i was just kind of aimlessly wandering around london and these two guys who were about 30 came up and asked for my autograph. i was really quite proud at the time, and they wanted to take photos and stuff. and then they were sort of wandering around and i was kind of wandering around and i bumped into them about three times, and every single time their respect for me kept growing and growing and growing.

People think that you have to do something huge, like go to africa and build a school, but you can make a small change in a day. if you change wednesday, then you change thursday. pretty soon it's a week, then a month, then a year. it's bite-size, as opposed to feeling like you have to turn your life inside out to make changes.
