Saxophone is one thing, and music is another.

I think it is in collaboration that the nature of art is revealed.

The saxophone is a very interesting machine, but I'm more interested in music.

Before the work comes to you, you have to invent work.

To me, there is spirit in a reed. It's a living thing, a weed, really, and it does contain spirit of a sort. It's really an ancient vibration.

There is an awful lot of what I call recreational jazz going on, where people go out and learn a particular language or style and become real sharks on somebody else's language.

The potential for the saxophone is unlimited.
