Good Quotes

I remember once when I was working on a magazine, and one of the male editors was going on a field trip with one of his sons.

The quality of writing attracts me to films, also who the other actors are, who the director is, where it's being shot. Any or all of those things.

Mainly, I don't like it when music is made solely to impress people or in order to please business people; it doesn't sound good to me.

Whenever I'm in Kansas City, I think back to all the jazz-blues greats who played the blues here - like Count Basie, Charlie Parker and Jay McShann. I watched those guys jam in different places and heard a lot of things - but I couldn't do what they did. They were too good.
