Sometimes it's to your advantage for people to think you're crazy

I always believed in being myself.

I don't know where jazz is going. Maybe it's going to hell. You can't make anything go anywhere. It just happens.

Jazz is my adventure.

All musicians are potential band leaders.

Don't play everything (or every time); let some things go by... What you don't play can be more important than what you do.

A genius is the one most like himself.
