All My Inspiration Comes From Ahmad Jamal.

I Mean, It Makes Me Sick When I See A White Man Sitting There Smiling At Me Being Entertaining, Man. When I Know What He's Gonna Do After He Gets Through. You Know, When You See That Thing On Their Face - Like: "entertain Me." You Know What I Mean? Even The Black Guy That's Trying To Be White - Even He Can Have That Crap On His Face.

...people Will Go For Anything They Don't Understand If It's Got Enough Hype. They Want To Be Hip, Want Always To Be In On The New Thing So They Don't Look Unhip. White People Are Especially Like That, Particularly When A Black Person Is Doing Something They Don't Understand...that's What I Thought Was Happening When Ornette Hit Town.

I Think Every Negro Over Fifty Should Get A Medal For Putting Up With All That Crap.

I Don't Like To Hear Someone Put Down Dixieland. Those People Who Say There's No Music But Bop Are Just Stupid; It Shows How Much They Don't Know.

I Think The Greatest Sound In The World Is The Human Voice.
