• I'm beginning to understand myself. But it would have been great to be able to understand myself when I was 20 rather than when I was 82.
• I'm always hoping for the nights that are inspired where you almost have an out of body experience.
• I had the first integrated Army band in World War II.
• And there is a time where you can be beyond yourself. You can be better than your technique. You can be better than most of your usual ideas. And this is a whole other category that you can get into.
