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.

I Appreciate Men Like Ben Webster And Coleman Hawkins Very Much.

I've Done Some Dastardly Things But What Can I Do Except Make Amends And Apologize?

When I Got This Saxophone, It Became A Religion. There Wasn't Tv, There Wasn't Much Money, And There Was Just A Real Dedication.... I Never Thought Of It As An Art. It Was Just Work That I Loved. Not Just Work, But Work That I Loved. I Loved It So Much, I Would Play It If Nobody Listened To It. Any Jazz Musician, If There's Nobody Around To Listen, Would Play Just For The Sheer Joy Of Improvising Music.

Hearing Myself So Much All The Time, I Don't Think I Sound That Special All The Time Because It's Me.
