I don't know where jazz is going. Maybe it's going to hell. You can't make anything go anywhere. It just happens.
Everyone is influenced by everybody but you bring it down home the way you feel it.
Just because you're not a drummer doesn't mean you don't have to keep time.
I always believed in being myself.
I was playing birthday parties. House-rent parties where they used to sell whisky during prohibition.
I can shoot pool, and I can play ping-pong. I'm pretty good at those games.
