Records used to be documents, but now record companies want product.

You can read all the textbooks and listen to all the records, but you have to play with musicians that are better than you.

I never have any trouble playing anything I can think of. The trouble is in thinking of what to play.

If you like an instrument that sings, play the saxophone. At its best it's like the human voice.

I had a 10-year heroin habit and kicked that. Then I became an alcoholic. I drank two fifth's a day.

We recorded to document ourselves, not to sell a lot of records.

I've done some dastardly things but what can I do except make amends and apologize?
