When I came up, it was all about originality and collective research. There is an awful lot of imitation going on now.

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.

Jazz is people's music, a collectivity.

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.

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.

Thus every action must be due to one or other of seven causes: chance, nature, compulsion, habit, reasoning, anger, or appetite.

We have never stayed home long enough to experience the truth about ourselves.

I guess in my own egotistical way I like to create my own library of Batman books that doesn't run contrary to a single thing that has been published before, but it also stands on its own.

I'm rather hoping to find the Evil Queen. I think she'd be much more fun.

A good laugh is as good as a prayer sometimes.

Worrying is paying interest on a debt you might not even owe.

I motivate players through communication, being honest with them, having them respect and appreciate your ability and your help.
