Miles Davis

I'll play it and tell you what it is later.

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.

I know what I've done for music, but don't call me a legend. Just call me Miles Davis.

I'm always thinking about creating. My future starts when I wake up every morning... Every day I find something creative to do with my life.

Jazz is the big brother of Revolution. Revolution follows it around.

If you love em in the morning with their eyes full of crust if you love em at night with their hair full of rollers chances are youre in love.

Good music is good no matter what kind of music it is.

If you understood everything I say, you'd be me!

The thing to judge in any jazz artist is, does the man project and does he have ideas.

A legend is an old man with a cane.

Always look ahead, but never look back.

A legend is an old man with a cane known for what he used to do. I'm still doing it.

It's always been a gift with me, hearing music the way I do. I don't know where it comes from, it's just there and I don't question it.

I'll play it first and tell you what it is later.

Do not fear mistakes. There are none.

Sometimes you have to play a long time to be able to play like yourself.

You can dominate a game if you dominate on the line... We're just going to have to go out there and work hard and blow people off the ball, and let our runners do what they do best.

There are no wrong notes.

For me, music and life are all about style.

If you're not nervous then you're not paying attention.

Drummers sometimes they play and they listen. And that little listen takes a speck away from the right tempo.

There are no wrong notes in jazz: only notes in the wrong places.

Don't play what's there, play what's not there.
