Louis Armstrong

I don't know nothing about music. In my line you don't have to.

Seems to me that the people who are trying to make it complicated, they're the ones that are trying to make it too complicated.

I never tried to prove nothing, just always wanted to give a good show. My life has been my music, my music is my life.

I just want to play my horn, and that's it.

My whole life, my whole soul, my whole being is to blow that horn.

I was born with music in me. It's the only explanation I know.

I ain't never been no millionaire, but I've had a million laughs.

I don't care what you do, as long as you do it good.

I'm a natural-born entertainer.

Every time I close my eyes, I see that little Jewish family, and I hear the beautiful music they played.

They were the first white people to treat me like a human being.

I learned how to sing and play from the Jewish family.

That's where I got my first taste of music, from them.

I was just a little boy, but I never forgot them.

I've had a wonderful life, and I'm thankful for every minute of it.

I just play what I feel.

The music is the most important thing.

You got to have that feeling in your heart.

It's all about the feeling, man.

I don't sing, I just talk to the music.
