I’ll play it and tell you what it is later. - Miles Davis

But you've got to have style in whatever you do — writing, music, painting, fashion, boxing, anything.

Being rebellious and black, a nonconformist, being cool and hip and angry and sophisticated and ultra clean, whatever else you want to call it — I was all those things and more. But I was playing the fuck out of my horn and had a great group, so I didn't get recognition based only on a rebel image.

It's that goddamned motherfucking 'Machine Gun.'
