"The only work I did for the next five years after splitting from Vincent was work I'd already lined up."

Quote_1.png
Jonathan Safran Foer

"I've done my best to work from a place of humility - always looking over your shoulder saying, "Does this suck?" and I think that's a good way to work. The other way to work is where you start to think, "I'm on fire, I'm amazing!" and I don't think that's the way to work."

Jonathan Safran Foer

Jonathan Safran Foer

Quote_1.png
Jonathan Safran Foer

"I just like to catch fish, I don't care if it weighs half a pound or 10 pounds. But I can't do a lot of casting. I can work a jig or a worm. But not for long, especially if the big ones are biting. Those big bass will make it hurt after a while."

"There's a certain kind of motion and pacing that our music has, and this just doesn't have that. We just kind of rushed to the conclusion of most of the songs. I just would've preferred to done them over."

Quote_1.png
Branford Marsalis

Branford Marsalis
"I suspect that we might actually start selling some records with these artists in about 10 years. Some the people who invested, they're a little tight-because it's a lot of money to start up a company."
Quote_1.png
Branford Marsalis
"That's kind of like how jazz is sometimes. You're out there predicting the future, and no one believes you."

Branford Marsalis
"The piano is the X factor. People have a tough time following the structures when there's no piano there, spelling it out. It makes it more easily understood, particularly to people who don't know as much about music."
