Wynton Marsalis

NY Times Magazine Interview
Sunday, October 3, 2004:

Q: Doesn't it get lonely living out of a hotel room ten months a year?

A: It all depends on what happens in the room.


Yeah, baby. Wynton hits the bullseye. Don't you see it? We tend to define our experience by the surface construct, the societal definition of an experience as positive or negative. The truth is, it all depens on what happens in the room-- it all depends on what you do with the time you are given, in the place your are, with the people you know or meet, with yourself. It all depends on you. What happens in the room is up to you.

Nothing is was it seems. Nothing is what it is supposed to be. It all depends on what happens in the room. Thanks, Wynton.
