Dance music-as I keep saying, you can dance to a windshield wiper... a windshield wiper that's fairly steady gives you a beat and all you need is an out-of-tune playing 'Melancholy Baby' and you've got dance music.

The good old days are neither better nor worse than the ones we're living through right now.

I was really running a music school back then, because my band wasn't making any money. I keep talking about money, because most people don't understand the part of money in running a band.

Jazz was born out of the whiskey bottle, was raised on marijiana, and will expire on cocaine.

I did all you can do with a clarinet. Any more would have been less.

I like the music. I love it & live it in fact. But for me the business part of music just plain stinks.

I can't understand guys who just have to have your autograph. What do you do when you get home, take it out & look at it?
