To most jazz critics I was basically Kenny G.

You have to be concerned with yourself because if you're not on it all the time, nobody else is going to be.

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

But when I first got cancer, after the initial shock and the fear and paranoia and crying and all that goes with cancer - that word means to most people ultimate death - I decided to see what I could do to take that negative and use it in a positive way.

One of the advantages of not having a record contract is that you can make your own mistakes, you don't need somebody else to organize them for you.

Being stubborn has helped, being selfish is not a bad thing.

My ego is controlled enough that I don't have to be the focus.

But when I first got cancer, after the initial shock and the fear and paranoia and crying and all that goes with cancer - that word means to most people ultimate death - I decided to see what I could do to take that negative and use it in a positive way.

By the time I'm 90, I hope to have it together.
