What I liked was that she wasn't just saying yes to me she was putting up a fight. We got talking to them and I had a debate with her about something or other. She was sitting at a table with some other girls and I was there with my friend Larry. She has a German background, studied in England and was living in New York when we met. She was working for the American Academy of Art. I met my wife, Gigi, when I was 24, at a bar in New York on Halloween. That's how my career started and two years later I was hired by Miles Davis. I moved to New York just before my 21st birthday. I wanted to be a jazz musician even though I had already done two years of engineering.

It was wise on his part, but Mom also gave good advice. When I would ask Dad certain things, he would say, 'Go ask your mother.' He put her at the centre of the decision-making because it was like putting oil on a wheel to keep the family running smoothly. My dad thought Mum was highly strung but she was actually bipolar. She didn't push us to be anything we didn't want to be. Mom was always supportive of her three children – of whom I am the eldest – particularly when it came to us getting a good education.
