In respect for drummers, see, I love drummers.

I think the greatest sound in the world is the human voice.

In music, silence is more important than sound.

I was minding my own business when something says to me, "you ought to blow trumpet." I have just been trying ever since.

Dave [Holland] plays the way he wants to play. And it's usually what's needed. You know, Dave is such a deep thinker. You can't tell him too much, else it might spoil his spirit, you know.

The melody is French. But that's the end of the record. I named it "Jean Pierre Then There Were None," you know, because of the big explosion. You'll like it. It's a nice album.

You can tell whether a person plays well or not by the way he carries the instrument, whether it means something to him or not.
