Joao Gilberto on guitar could read a newspaper and sound good.

In music, silence is more important than sound.

Good music is good no matter what kind of music it is.

It's like swimmin' without warmin' up, yuo know what I mean? So [cackles] we use the drum machine, and we take it out.

Some musicians play with their heart, you know what I mean? I don't know what to tell a person that can't - if you can't tell a person what you're talkin' about when they're rushin' or droppin' the tempo, you get somebody else.

I've gotten hernias from drummers when they drop tempo.

Don't be afraid of mistakes - There are none.
