A h** neva gets cold

I don’t know how to drive.

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

A lot of people always question, ‘What else can she do, what else can she do?’ And I’m going to show you

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!’

The women that inspire me, to be honest, are the women that struggle.

Most jazz players work out their solos, at least to the extent that they have a very specific vocabulary.

What I learned the most from Prince was putting art first, being creatively ambitious, and putting creativity at the forefront of what I do.

The hippest thing you can do is not play at all. Just listen.

I am very aware that so little has happened to the electric guitar from the time that it was conceived to now; where there are so little changes made where there should be drastic changes made. If we were to put our heads together and start thinking about modern technology we would be much more advantaged with the electric guitar than we are. I think that we’ve been stagnant for many years.

I think we musicians are emissaries. Every time we go before the public, we’re there to make converts.

I started as a writer and when I sent my demos out everyone wanted to know who was singing and if that person wanted a record deal.

Monk taught me more about music composition than anyone else on 52nd Street.

By and large Jazz has always been like the kind of a man you wouldn’t want your daughter to associate with.

I want a kick to my band, but I don’t want the rhythm to hog the spotlight.

Music is the most interesting thing in the world.

The true beauty of music is that it connects people.

It’s Charlie Parker and Dizzy Gillespie, you know. They got a musical mind together and uh, you can’t explain it.

Jazz is like wine. When it is new it’s only for the experts, but when it gets older everybody wants it.

If you hit a wrong note, then make it right by what you play afterward.

Keep on listening and tapping your feet.
