I Always Listen To What I Can

I Can't Write Anything For Myself. I Can Write When I Hear Like [john] Coltrane Play Something; I Used To Write Chords And Stuff For Him To Play In One Bar. I Can Write For Other People, But I Don't Never Write For Myself.

If You Don't Know What To Play, Play Nothing.

Tom Jones Is Funny To Me, Man. I Mean, He Really Tries To Ape Ray Charles And Sammy Davis, You Know. He's Nice-looking; He Looks Good Doing It. I Mean, If I Was Him, I'd Do The Same Thing. If I Was Only Thinking About Making Money.

Everybody Ought To Listen To Benny [carter]. He's A Whole Musical Education.

It's Like Swimmin' Without Warmin' Up, Yuo Know What I Mean? So [cackles] We Use The Drum Machine, And We Take It Out.
