"Obsessive determination balanced with patience, being persistent without being pushy, seeking out your own uniqueness while always being respectful to those from whom you have learned, listening with an open mind and a closed mouth, and when you finally get a chance to perform you do it with fire and passion."

-Tom Hemby interviewed by Gary Heimbauer in Guitar Lovers' Celebration in Jazz Inside NY Magazine

"Like when you are in love with a person, you do not think: Oh gee, I have to talk or spend five hours with this person. So if you are in love with music you do not count the hours you practice, compose or study. And any adversity and difficulty you might be faced with, whether artistic or business related you are going to approach with a better predisposition."
