For Me, Music And Life Are All

Jazz Musicians Are So Comfortable. The Reason They Can't Do What We Do Is Because They're So Comfortable Doin' What They Do.

I Began To Realize That Some Of The Things Ornette Coleman Had Said About Things Being Played Three Or Fours Ways, Independently Of Each Other, Were True Because Bach Had Also Composed That Way.

Anybody Can Play. The Note Is Only 20 Percent. The Attitude Of The Motherfucker Who Plays It Is 80 Percent.

When You Work With Great Musicians, They Are Always A Part Of You . . . Their Spirits Are Walking Around In Me, So They're Still Here And Passing It On To Others.

My Father's Rich, My Momma's Good Looking. Right? And I Can Play The Blues. I've Never Suffered And Don't Intend To Suffer.
