Whoever invented smooth jazz, man, I wanna kill 'em: You're turning an art form into a hooker.
Listen to music you don't even like and see why you don't like it.
I have no illusions about being a genius musician. I pride myself on being a soldier, a warrior for jazz. I trained a lot of young people, and I've learned my lessons well. I'd like to keep the flame burning.
Music is the journey. You never arrive in music; the work is never over.
