“There hasn’t been a true breakdown or effort to break Thai music into genres.”

Everyone’s a singer now, thanks to karaoke, for better and for much worse.

They’re not concerned with it. They don’t take their musical legacy seriously.

I don’t speak anything very well. The longer that you travel, you find out that you really don’t even need to speak the language to get around and get things done, to live in those places.

Like most of the popular songs are today in the English language that I hear – then it would be much more of a turnoff then if it would allow me to interpret it.

From the expressive capabilities of the vocalizing or of the sound itself, which allows me to create my own meaning for it, which elevates it into a higher piece of work for me.

I love what I do so I find ways to keep doing what I love. Music is certainly not all that interests me.

Coming to them to listen only to the music is not what people do.

I’ve had to adjust to karaoke as a modern reality that obscures our hunt for what we’re truly after.

Old is unwanted. You don’t find Thais going to the thrift store. They want new clothes. They want the newest cell phone.

I’m not satisfied with the state of humanity.

I hear things my own way and I present them.

My sense of humor keeps me from committing atrocities!

But the live band is now becoming ancient history in Thailand, Cambodia, and Burma.

If I must live on the same planet as Mr and Mrs out of touch, I will do whatever I can to jolt their zombie-ass skulls from the upside-down veal market they hang from.

Sound is inspiring and I can be quite obssessive with certain sounds.

I like traditional music. I listen to a lot of it. There is no particular reason to present these recordings.

I’ve never been one to look up the ladder. I’ve always looked down the ladder. As long as there’s one guy down there, I’m fine.

My lawyer has been a good friend of mine for a long time. He and I continuously have conversations.

When you have good friends you’ve been around, every time they talk, you don’t give them your full attention.

I’ve never been a jealous person, and I’ve never felt built up by someone else’s failure – that’s a cheap thrill.

There are very few people who are not ashamed of having been in love when they no longer love each other.

I tell everyone in the world that I have always been the best father I could be and that I was the worst husband. Wooo!

You know, I was once named Minor League Player of the Year… unfortunately, I had been in the majors for two years at the time.

Have you ever been to the countryside? It’s so small. And there’s nothing to do.
