- Anybody can play. The note is only 20 percent. The attitude of the motherfucker who plays it is 80 percent.
- It's not the note you play that's the wrong note - it's the note you play afterwards that makes it right or wrong.
- A painting is music you can see and music is a painting you can hear.
- Always listen for what you can leave out.
- It takes a long time to sound like yourself.
- Do not fear mistakes. There are none.
- Music is the framework around the silence.
- It's not the notes you play, it's the notes you don't play.
- Don't play what's there, play what's not there.
- If you don't know what to play, play nothing.
- Play what you know and then play above that
- Certain drummers drop time, and I like to play on top of the beat.
