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

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.

I don't know how I didn't kill any one of my sisters. For this one horror film we were making, I made my own harness for my sister. I wrapped her in all these ropes, but then also put a noose around her neck and hung her from a tree. Now I think, 'What if my harness didn't work?' I'm so lucky that nothing ever happened.

The idea of 'Napoleon Dynamite' as an animated series made perfect sense to me.

When buying shares, ask yourself, would you buy the whole company?

Business leaders, social justice groups, farmers and ranchers, doctors and nurses and people from all walks of life are concerned about the climate threat.

I am one who believes that we are, in fact, engaged in a worldwide war against terrorism. We must have the serenity to accept the fact that war is not going to go away if we ignore it.

One of the great problems with Americans is that - being a decent people - they assume that everyone else is equally decent.

My workspace is a white room with a big computer monitor and a light box. It can be very messy. Sometimes I get into trouble with my husband for that. Then I run around like a lunatic cleaning up and creating the appearance of order.

I don't know what makes a marriage work. My husband and I don't have it right at all; it's very tough on him. From the outside it looks like it's all about me - I have a glorious career and he doesn't.

We may have to force people to get together in terms of picking a particular type of technology and starting to build to that technology, as opposed to everybody exercising their right to buy their own system, you know, at will.

In the first years after the systemic transition, our screens showed American entertainment that had not been available before, or had been available only sporadically.

You are always being prepared for something better or protected from something worse.

I love to travel, I love to go out with my friends, but what I love most is being home with my family.

That is one reason so many of the Japanese pictures are not good, they cannot spare all the footage necessary for that bow, which is repeated over and over again.

I feel quite confident that audiences on both sides of the Atlantic are growing 'dumber,' if what you really mean to say is 'less culturally literate.'

May no soldier go unloved, May no soldier walk alone, May no soldier be forgotten, Until they all come home.

Sunday night I always cook if I can - if I'm home, I always cook.

It is important never to forget our history, but parts of our history are more appropriately displayed in museums, not on government property.

Right now, after having had back surgery, I am finally back to running again.

Winning isn't everything, but wanting to win is.

One out of 100 citizens of the U.S. is going to prison, and it's not that the system is making criminals, it's that it's making criminals better criminals. We're breeding them like rats and it has to change.
