Swizz Beatz

I have no one style.

The fabulous places I’ve been, wonderful things that’ve happened, great people I’ve met ought to make a story.

Jazz has always been a man telling the truth about himself.

It’s taken me all my life to learn what not to play.

When I start writing songs and it turns into an overly belabored intellectual process, I just throw it out.

I wanna hear myself everywhere

There are no natural barriers. It’s all music.

When I got started in New York, if you were different from Miles and Dizzy it was very difficult.

Jazz is a beautiful word. I love it.

I was really running a music school back then, because my band wasn’t making any money. I keep talking about money, because most people don’t understand the part of money in running a band.

A Jazz Diet will make you hipper, thinner, taller, smarter, richer, happier and more attractive to members of both sexes.

My fans are the best in the world! They’ve grown up with me and stayed with me through this entire journey.

The music scene is more competitive in the States.

Jazz never ends… it just continues.

I wanted to do the music, but not at the expense of being happy.
