I've always been extremely lucky in playing with great people who knew much more than I did. That's how I got from there to here.
I'm always eager to work with people I admire, people who have experience, who've made mistakes and made great things. That's the greatest teaching I could ever get in developing my own career.
It's a spirit that was given me and the relationships and meeting all these great people, Duke Ellington, Louis Armstrong; through Max I met a lot of people too. My first album was with Benny Carter.
The early part of my career was the 1990s, and I was living in New York working as an actor. It was the world I was in. A lot of companies had a great deal of money.
I've learned from experience that if you work harder at it, and apply more energy and time to it, and more consistency, you get a better result. It comes from the work.
Who are you writing this for? For a commercial reason, or because you want to make great art and give it to your fans?
I hope the cooks who are working for me now are getting that kind of experience so they can use what they're learning now as a foundation for a great career.
If you go to a movie and it's a great experience, the experience at the end of it is always like this sadness that it's over, that your time with these characters is finished. There's almost like an achy feeling that I have when I go to a movie that I love and it ends.
People can be more forgiving than you can imagine. But you have to forgive yourself. Let go of what's bitter and move on.
