I'm Always Thinking About Creating. My Future

White Folks Always Think That You Have To Have A Label On Everything - You Know What I Mean?

If You Make A Suggestion And [musicians] Don't Know What You Mean, You Have To Be Able To Do It Yourself. I Often Sit Down On Drums And Show 'em Just Exactly What I Want. And I Do It And Then Say, "how Do You Do That?" It's Because I Know How It Looks, I Know What I Want To Hear, And I Don't Drop Or Rush Any Tempo. It Ain't In My Body, It Ain't In My Nephew's Body.

The Thing To Judge In Any Jazz Artist Is, Does The Man Project And Does He Have Ideas.

I Know What I've Done For Music, But Don't Call Me A Legend. Just Call Me Miles Davis.

If You Have To Ask, You'll Never Know.
