• El problema de este país es que todo es nuevo. No tenemos ninguna consideración por el pasado... No porque algo sea viejo hay que derribarlo. Puedes renovarlo en lugar de derribarlo y construir algo nuevo.

• In order for a musician to grow, he's got to pay his dues. Some musicians ask me, 'well, what do you mean? You're saying I have to 'starve' and pay all these dues just to play jazz?' And my answer to them is, well, to some degree, yes! Because in order to play jazz you have to live it. Those notes mean something. They don't just come from your brain, they come from your heart and soul too. And in order to have that heart and soul you have to experience life. So I relate my music to my life and my life style. You can't separate the two.
