An entire composition written in jazz could not live.
It is always possible to create something original.
Jazz is one of the best things that you can find in your life, it can always be your friend.
What the hell do you want to work for somebody else for? Work for yourself!
All these tales of people sitting down and composing symphonies just as though they were writing a letter are very much exaggerated; at least, it isn't that way in my work.
All great composers of the past spent most of their time studying. Feeling alone won't do the job. A man also needs technique.
