Keith, how does it feel to be a genius?

You want to know how I started playing trumpet? My father bought me one, and I studied the trumpet. And everybody I heard that I liked, I picked up things from.

In music, silence is more important than sound.

I keep telling Ron Lorman and them in the control room, "It's my band! The reason I have a band is because I can't stand for somebody to tell me what to do."

You have to know 400 notes that you can play, then pick the right four.

People will go for anything they don't understand if it's got enough hype.

Play what you know and then play above that
