Howie Epstein was a kind, patient, and extremely talented musician. He took two years out of his life and dedicated his undivided attention to the making of two of my records. Those records changed my life thanks to Howie.

I see a woman in the night with a baby in her hand, under an old street light near a garbage can.

It's now or never. I ain't gonna live forever. I just wanna live while I'm alive. It's my life.

People are used to music that justifies street culture but something that's not touched on is why these kids act the way they act, live the way they live.

If you assume you haven't learned anything yet, there's no reason your playing can't stay dynamic all your life.

Old man take a look at my life, I'm a lot like you were.
