Miles Davis

I'm not a jazz musician. I'm a social musician.

I don't play notes, I play feelings.

If you want to hear me play, you gotta come to the club.

I don't like to be predictable. I like to surprise people.

I'm not trying to be hip. I just am.

You can't play what you don't know.

I don't play for money. I play for the music.

I'm not a teacher. I'm a musician.

If you're not changing, you're dying.

I don't play for applause. I play for the sound.

I'm not a genius. I'm just a hard worker.

Music is a spiritual thing. You don't play it, you feel it.

I don't play the trumpet. I play music.

If you're not making mistakes, you're not trying hard enough.

I don't like to be confined. I like to be free.

I'm not a star. I'm a musician.

You can't play what you don't feel.

I don't play for the past. I play for the future.

I'm not a jazz purist. I'm a music purist.

If you're not listening, you're not playing.
