Additional quotes by Miles Davis

Anybody can play. The note is only 20 percent. The attitude of the motherfucker who plays it is 80 percent.

Si no pudiera descubrir o enriquecer el arte, encontrar nuevos enfoques, me sentiría culpable de estar vivo. Preferiría la muerte a la ausencia de creación. No tendría ninguna razón para vivir si no pudiera crear, digamos, una composición. No que le guste a alguien, sino que me satisfaga, que les guste a mis amigos. Que me digan: 'Sí, Miles, qué bueno'. Sin eso, no querría vivir. Sé que es egoísta, ¡pero los genios son egoístas!
