That's the jazz that I like - the stuff that has a soothing effect.

Being famous was extremely disappointing for me. When I became famous it was a complete drag and it is still a complete drag.

Jazz goes into folk music, into rock music. Jazz is in practically everything except classical music where they're reading the same music all the time, the same way, the same tempo every night.

There was a conflict - the actual putting together of the reality of the situation didn't seem to gel. I'd been doing kind of a slow ballad type of thing on records, but when it came to performing, I felt I was limiting myself.

When you start to analyze [rock 'n' roll], it's only because you don't understand it. You're just not connecting with it once you have to start analyzing it.

The fog of illusion, the fog of confusion is hanging all over the world.

What I like is natural music. It's like I was born with a gift to do something naturally, which I have no choice but to followup on.
