I think the majority of musicians are interested in truth.

The reason I play so many sounds, maybe it sounds angry, is because I'm trying so many things at one time, you see? I haven't sorted them out. I have a whole bag of things that I'm trying to work through and get the one essential.

Any time you play your horn, it helps you. If you get down, you can help yourself even in a rock 'n' roll band.

God breathes through us so completely...So gently we hardly feel it...yet it is our everything.

I never even thought about whether or not they understand what I'm doing . . . the emotional reaction is all that matters as long as there's some feeling of communication, it isn't necessary that it be understood.

Change is inevitable in music - things change.

Jazz is a word they use to sell our music, but to me that word does not exist.
