I Don't Care Much About Music. What

We Loved One Another, Man. I Mean All Those Stories About The Rift ... There Was No Question Of A Rift Between Charlie Parker And Me.

I Try To Play The Bare Essence, To Let Everything Be Just What It's Supposed To Be.

I Think The Idea Is Now For Blacks To Write About The History Of Our Music. It's Time For That, Because Whites Have Been Doing It All The Time. It's Time For Us To Do It Ourselves And Tell It Like It Is.

Men Have Died For This Music. You Can't Get More Serious Than That.

When I Grow Up I Want To Be Just Like Benny Carter!
