If you take the creation of music and the creation of your own life values as your overall goal, then living becomes a musical process.

I understand about the relative strengths of people, and I don't think people have to be anything. They can be nothin' if they want to be.

I try to imitate on the piano the leaps in space a dancer makes.

You must surrender whatever preconceptions you have about music if you're really interested in it.

The quality of life, values that go down to doin' that, that's the issue.

Sometimes when it goes really well, you wonder, "who's that at the piano?"

Rhythm is the life of space of time danced through.
