Jazz is people's music, a collectivity.

The soprano has all those other instruments in it. It's got the soprano song voice, flute, violin, clarinet, and tenor elements and can even approach the baritone in intensity.

There is an awful lot of what I call recreational jazz going on, where people go out and learn a particular language or style and become real sharks on somebody else's language.

Whoever has an original thing to say, it is sort of a threat to the status quo.

The potential for the saxophone is unlimited.

Saxophone is one thing, and music is another.

You can work on the saxophone alone, but ultimately you must perform with others.

I still love the whole history of jazz. The old things sound better than ever.

It starts with a single sound. If there's something in that sound, then it's worth continuing.

I think it is in collaboration that the nature of art is revealed.

In composition you have all the time you want to decide what to say in 15 seconds, in improvisation you have 15 seconds.

Truth in her dress finds facts too tight. In fiction she moves with ease.

We are all special in God's eyes because He has designed us to carry His treasures.

I saw Tequila Sunrise as a romantic picture with complex, bigger than life characters.

All possible means were used by the infatuated parents to conclude the bargain; and deception put an end to these usual artifices.

All of the qualities that you need to be a good opinion columnist tend to be qualities that aren't valued in women.

I wish America would spend even half as much time complaining about plastics in our oceans as we do about actresses' plastic surgery.

All the other stuff without love? Not worth a whole lot. Love starts with ourselves and needs to be approached like anything else we want to master-with a lot of diligent studying and practicing!

I think that's all just a bit of luck that I've gotten to do such different stuff. I don't know if it's a good thing to not do something, just 'cause it's too similar to what you've done.

The essential feature, and necessity of life is to know reality, which means knowing God.

That's a headache waiting to happen.
