I Never Have Any Trouble Playing Anything

The Value Of Jazz Still Has To Be Clarified. People Involve Themselves With Its Superficialities Without Digging For Its Soul.

You Know, When I'm Playing, I Think Of Myself In Front Of The Wailing Wall With A Saxophone In My Hands, And I'm Davening, I'm Really Telling It To The Wall.

I Never Consciously Tried To Conceive Of What My Sound Should Be.

I'm A Recovered Alcoholic. I Don't Do Anything Anymore, But Those Things, Those Things Take Away ... You're A Different Personality Completely When You Take Those. For Those Who Are Really Chemically Dependent On Anything, It's Not You.

Other Than Conversation, No Other Art Form Can Give The Satisfaction Of Spontaneous Interaction Like Jazz.
