You're a woman, at least you taste like you are.

Kenny Burrell that's the sound I'm looking for.

I feel guilty when people say I'm the greatest on the scene. What's good or bad doesn't matter to me; what does matter is feeling and not feeling. If only people would take more of a true view and think in terms of feelings. Your name doesn't mean a damn, it's your talents and feelings that matter. You've got to know much more than just the technicalities of notes; you've got to know what goes between the notes.

Really I'm just an actor. The only difference between me and those cats in Hollywood is that I write my own script.

The smiling portrait of you is still hanging on my frowning wall.
