It Takes You Years To Learn How

I Always Listen To What I Can Leave Out.

I Like Stan [getz], Because He Has So Much Patience, The Way He Plays Those Melodies - Other People Can't Get Nothing Out Of A Song, But He Can, Which Takes A Lot Of Imagination.

Certain Drummers Drop Time, And I Like To Play On Top Of The Beat.

If You Love Them In The Morning With Their Eyes Full Of Crust; If You Love Them At Night With Their Hair Full Of Rollers, Chances Are, You're In Love.

If You Make A Suggestion And [musicians] Don't Know What You Mean, You Have To Be Able To Do It Yourself. I Often Sit Down On Drums And Show 'em Just Exactly What I Want. And I Do It And Then Say, "how Do You Do That?" It's Because I Know How It Looks, I Know What I Want To Hear, And I Don't Drop Or Rush Any Tempo. It Ain't In My Body, It Ain't In My Nephew's Body.
