If you want it, and the more you keep hearing you can’t have it, you just go and get it

I think us bad b*tc*es is a gift from God.

I don’t want your punk ass man, I’m too tough

When women come up to me like, ‘I am a freaking senator,’ or, ‘I’m a doctor,’ it’s like, ‘Damn, y’all like me? I look up to y’all!’

If a girl have beef with me, she gon’ have beef with me forever.

When you hear my lyrics, you hear the shots that I throw at people. I throw shots because I always been the underdog. I got rejected so many times, and I say it in my lyrics constantly.

When I began listening to saxophones, I was first attracted to Coleman Hawkins.

If you play a tune and a person don’t tap their feet, don’t play the tune.

I don’t pop my cork for every man I see.

When rock music came in, I wasn’t bitter about it. I was puzzled.

I don’t consider myself a musician who has achieved perfection and can’t develop any further.

I’ve always wanted a C trumpet on top, to have that same kind of facility without shouting.

I can’t sing it straight. I have no choice but to swing it.

If jazz has to be termed as a wave, then music is a sea, but if the reflectors in the water is the chord.

My Strat is another arm, it’s part of me. It doesn’t feel like a guitar at all. It’s an implement which is my voice.

I don’t like to hear someone put down Dixieland. Those people who say there’s no music but bop are just stupid; it shows how much they don’t know.

Music gave me the energy to revise, revive myself; renew, rebirth myself. It was a palliative, a relief.

In my opinion, I think sarcasm and humor in a song, without turning it into a novelty song, is really charming.

Music is the mediator between the spiritual and the sensual life.

If a guy is gonna to play good bop, he has to have a sort of a bop soul.

A wise man practices slowly; but a wiser man practices even slower.
