Hearing Myself So Much All The Time,

I Never Have Any Trouble Playing Anything I Can Think Of. The Trouble Is In Thinking Of What To Play.

I Had A 10-year Heroin Habit And Kicked That. Then I Became An Alcoholic. I Drank Two Fifth's A Day.

If You Like An Instrument That Sings, Play The Saxophone. At Its Best It's Like The Human Voice.

The Saxophone Is An Imperfect Instrument, Especially The Tenor And Soprano, As Far As Intonation Goes. The Challenge Is To Sing On An Imperfect Instrument That Is Outside Of Your Body.

I Never Consciously Tried To Conceive Of What My Sound Should Be.
