I didn't have a life until I went up onstage..

It is Jazz's very nature to change, to develop & adapt to the circumstances of its environment..

Life's all about 'me' anyway.

I am not stroppy at all..

I'll tell you about it because I am here and you are distant..

I follow the rules until I go against them all..

Music has always been in me..

The less inhibited you are the better..

That which is measured improves. That which is measured and reported improves exponentially..

I strive for honesty in playing what I feel..

It's good for you to go somewhere that you wouldn't normally go..

You are someone and you have a right to your life..

I really fell in love with Africa..

Ain't nobody messin' with you but you.

you couldn't talk yourself into love any more than you could talk yourelf out of it..

History is at once freedom and necessity..

I'm thrilled to get hired every once in a while..

I serve society by rocking!.

The great god Pan is dead..

Jazz is like blues with a shot of heroin!.

It’s almost always sadder to stay than to depart.
