All a musician can do is to get closer to the sources of nature, and so feel that he is in communion with the natural laws.

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.

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.

Sometimes I wish I could walk up to my music for the first time, as if I had never heard it before.

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

The main thing a musician would like to do is to give a picture to the listener of the many wonderful things he knows of and senses in the universe.

One positive thought produces millions of positive vibrations.
