In music, silence is more important than sound.

To keep creating you have to be about change.

Jazz is like blues with a shot of heroin!

If you sacrifice your art because of some woman, or some man, or for some color, or for some wealth, you can't be trusted.

In respect for drummers, see, I love drummers.

We don't play to be seen. I'm addicted to music, not audiences.

Audiences - they like colour, you know. I can go out there wearing a red suit, man, and they'll say I'm out of sight ... I think they should be educated; you should always drop something on an audience ... When you get in front of an audience, you should try to give 'em something. After all, they're there looking at you like this. You can't go out and give 'em nothing.
