"I'm just a messenger for the music."

"I don't need no fancy words to tell you what I feel. I just play my horn."

"I don't like to be called a jazz musician. I'm a musician."

"Seems to me that the people who all the time talking about what's wrong with the world, are the same ones who ain't doing nothing to make it right."

"Music is the food of love, and I'm a hungry man."
