Sometimes you have to play a long time to be able to play like yourself. - Miles Davis

I love Pops, I love the way he sings, the way he plays - everything he does, except when he says something against modern-jazz music.

What am I supposed to say to that? That's ridiculous. You see the way they can __ up music? It's a mismatch. They don't complement each other. Max and Mingus can play together, by themselves. Mingus is a hell of a bass player, and Max is a hell of a drummer. But Duke can't play with them, and they can't play with Duke. Now, how are you going to give a thing like that some stars? Record companies should be kicked in the _. Somebody should take a picket sign and picket the record company.

When you’re creating your own shit, man, even the sky ain’t the limit.
