I believe that men are here to grow themselves into the best good that they can be - at least, this is what I want to do.

Invest yourself in everything you do. There's fun in being serious.

Keep a thing happenin' all throughout.

I want to be the force which is truly for good.

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

...That is one of the main causes of this arrogance: the idea of power. Then you lose your true power which is to be part of all, and the only way you can be part of all is to understand it. And when you don't understand, you have to go humbly to it. You don't go to school and say, 'I know what you're going to teach me'.

Whatever I'd say would be an understatement. I can only say my life was made much better by knowing him. He was one of the greatest people I've ever known, as a man, a friend, and a musician.
