If I should ever die, God forbid, let this be my epitaph:
THE ONLY PROOF HE NEEDED
FOR THE EXISTENCE OF GOD
WAS MUSIC

There are more love songs than anything else. If songs could make you do something we'd all love one another.

Jazz is not dead, it just smells funny. 'Be-Bop Tango'

Music is the most physically inspiring of all the Arts. From a keynote address to the American Society of University Composers

If people stop copying my music, I should start to worry.
