All art constantly aspires towards the condition of music. Walter Pater
What is music anyway? It's a form of communication, and that's why I play the kind of music that I think - that I hope - can communicate with people. Kenny G
I was a good amateur but only an average professional. I soon realized that there was a limit to how far I could rise in the music business, so I left the band and enrolled at New York University. Alan Greenspan

For some reason, the evolutionists have not come up with an evolution-based explanation for why human beings react so powerfully to music. But surely they will. Dennis Prager

We talk a lot on 'Biggest Loser' about how fitness is a natural antidepressant, how it burns off stress. What I like about running is that it gives me time alone.

I'm not trying to keep up or adapt. I'm allowing myself to grow, evolve and create new music. LL Cool J
