There aren't any labels - all jazz means is improvization and you can never play a tune the same way twice. So jazz spills over into everything.

This Hollywood ain't no good, I would rather be like Robin Hood.

Everybody's got their own particular vision which is a personal thing.

I'm still basically the same as I always was. I still listen to the same people. That's where I'm coming from.

What I don't like is taking it to extremes and making all these intellectualizations about what basically is simple music. It's simple stream-of-consciousness stuff in my songs. What I'm trying to get across is misinterpreted.

You can't stay the same. If you're a musician and a singer, you have to change, that's the way it works.

It's not that big a mystery about types. It's not even that big a mystery why so many people are picking up on things now. It's like we were talking about the primitive thing before and all that. Nothing has really changed much. The things that have changed are like we're on the noon now. There are more buildings now. But we're still basically two monkeys sitting here.
