“Fame is a fickle thing that only lasts as long as you can be out there...” — Jesse Stone Quote

“Fame is a fickle thing that only lasts as long as you can be out there offering yourself to the public. And as soon as you relax for five minutes, they're gone, you know, and they're following somebody else.”

“The publicity and hoopla was never important to me.”

“Kansas City, I would say, did more for jazz music, black music, than any other influence at all. Almost all their joints that they had there, they used black bands. Most musicians who amounted to anything, they would flock to Kansas City because that's the place where jobs were plentiful.”

“My idea of a holiday was following my family up the hill with my pekinese, who would skip over the heather in front of me.”

“I was following my muse and I was very fortunate in having good people around me and it turned out to be a pretty good recording in my opinion.”

“If I have to point to something specific with the way I move my camera, I love to do it with a wide lens. I like to show you as much of the space as I can, even if I'm following a character.”
