Miles Davis

I just play what I hear in my head.

You can't play anything on a horn that you can't sing.

I don't believe in waiting for things to happen. You have to make them happen.

I'm always trying to find something new, something different.

If you want to hear me play, you better catch me now, because I'm always changing.

I don't play for the critics. I play for myself and for the people who listen.

The only reason I stopped playing the blues is because I got tired of it.

I don't believe in wasting time. Life is too short.

I'm always looking for the next thing. That's what keeps me going.

The music speaks for itself.

I just want to be remembered as a good musician.

I don't play what people want to hear. I play what I want to play.

You have to be able to play what you don't know.

I don't care about being understood. I just care about playing the music.

I've been through a lot of changes in my life, and my music reflects that.

I'm always learning. That's the most important thing.

The only way to get better is to keep practicing.

I hate to repeat myself. I'm always looking for new ways to express myself.

I'm not trying to be a role model. I'm just trying to be myself.

I believe in evolution. I believe in changing.
