Even If I have two three days off, you still have to blow that horn. You have to keep up those chops... I have to warm up everyday for at least an hour.

I'm a spade, you're an ofay. Let's play.

I got a simple rule about everybody. If you don't treat me right - shame on you.

Making money ain't nothing exciting to me. You might be able to buy a little better booze than the wino on the corner. But you get sick just like the next cat and when you die you're just as graveyard dead as he is.

The best I can do is stay happy.

All music is folk music. I ain't never heard a horse sing a song.

When you're dead, you're done.
