We finally got our big break when Ed Sullivan put us on his show.

I confess that I listen to my own music for my own pleasure.

Mexican Shuffle was a turning point of the Brass.

The trumpet was not a lyrical singing instrument.

When I finish an album and I find myself listening to it in the car, because it makes me feel a certain way, that's the time to try to let other people know about it.

I'm an old-timer in the business from the sense that when you do something that you feel good about there might be another person out there who feels the same way, or a hundred or a couple million.

I like to listen to classical music... I like mainline jazz.

He has a method that likens the musician to an athlete, so I do physical exercises designed to keep a musician in shape in order to perform the function, which is to play music.

I like to listed to the adventurous guys - the Coltranes, Miles Davis, the guys who just let it loose.

You know, the record business is much different than being artist on stage.

I was taken in by the bravado and the sounds of Mexico... not so much the music, but the spirit.

It's - as opposed to tape where you have a magnetic tape that's excited by frequencies that you hit, digital was a process where musical sounds are transferred to numbers and stored as numbers.

I practice every day. I've been doing it since I was eight.

I find that it's nice to work with somebody and spin off on someone else's feelings. You get a little jaded by yourself.

I'm sure I'll go back again and record in the digital process.

Although there was a point with the Tijuana Brass where we were playing for such huge crowds that I kind of lost contact. At one point, the only connection I had with the audience was with people out there lighting cigarettes.

It's very clean. With tape, you get noise.

The reaction to this album has just been fabulous around the world... and I've had offers to perform from around the world and I'm tempted to do it. I've got itchy lips.

If you look at a record under a microscope, the high frequencies are short jagged edges... and the low frequencies are long swinging ones are deep bass sounds. When it cut it at half speed, you're getting more of those on the record.

The Japanese seem to be a loyal audience.

There's something interesting about playing live; you're in the moment, and I think it would be beneficial.

We finally got our big break when Ed Sullivan put us on his show.

We always felt that if you do something with quality and integrity, then it's going to come back to you.

Clifford Brown was in the jazz circles considered to be probably the greatest trumpet player who ever lived.

Instrumental music can spread the international language.

Selfishly, I make music for me. I like to make music. I like looking for songs. I like working with interesting musicians. I like producing records. It's something I will always do.

I don't think radio is selling records like they used to. They'd hawk the song and hawk the artist and you'd get so excited, you'd stop your car and go into the nearest record store.

This was during a period when I was producing Brazil '66 records and got infected by Brazilian music.

I wake up in the morning, I do a little stretching exercises, pick up the horn and play.

ISIL is not your parents' al Qaeda. It's a very different model.

When you look at 'Grapes of Wrath,' the weakest moments are those in which Steinbeck is spouting a political idea directly at the reader. The book's real power comes from its slower, broader movement.

Dealing with global warming doesn't mean we have all got to suddenly stop breathing. Dealing with global warming means that we have to stop waste, and if you travel for no reason whatsoever, that is a waste.

It's almost a very rough rule of thumb: when Democrats are able to successfully frame the meaning of an election season around middle-class fears, Democrats win the election; when Republicans are able to successfully frame the meaning of an election season around cultural fears, Republicans win the election.

Individual commitment to a group effort - that is what makes a team work, a company work, a society work, a civilization work.

A horizon is nothing save the limit of our sight.

The ultimate goal of lacrosse is to score goals. The more goals a team can score, the more likely they are to win a game.

If each of your time steps is one week long, you are not modeling the stock price terribly well over a one-week time period, because you are saying that there are only two possible outcomes.

I kinda see my current position like this: Here's your five minutes in the toy store, so you gotta do all the good movies you can before 'Chuck Woolery' rings the bell.

I think I've always had a 40-year-old body, and now that I'm actually there I'm like, 'Hey, pretty good, huh?'

Going to religious places gives me clarity. When I am sitting there, I am in a state of gratitude with my defence mechanism down and am open to receiving that energy, that gives me clarity as at that time, you are listening to your heart. The heart shows you the direction in life. The mind exists only to execute your emotion.

When I was working on a Victorian-era novel, to get in the mood, I read several historical novels set in approximately the same period and place, and really enjoyed the detective novels of John Dickson Carr.

Horror was rooted in sympathy . . . in understanding what it would be like to suffer the worst.

As a social primate species, we modulate our morals with signals from family, friends and social groups with whom we identify because in our evolutionary past, those attributes helped individuals to survive and reproduce.

The more you know the less you need to say.

I don't miss you, I miss who I thought you were.

We can't be afraid to call the enemy what it is: Radical Islamic terrorism.

I grew up in Vancouver, which is a pretty liberal, gay Mecca of the West coast. There's San Francisco, and then there's Vancouver.

I never planned to be rich, frankly speaking. I was more interested in being free, and doing things. And money helps. But otherwise I was never that interested in it.

A manager must appreciate and understand the importance of every resource he has. There is a specific purpose for every resource. It is the duty of the manager to utilise the resources to the fullest in the most appropriate manner.
