“I'm never going to complain about doing my job. I love what I do!”

“When you see the best of the best - when you see a Matisse or a Picasso - what interests you is the creativity and harmony.”

“I met Quincy Jones in Seattle. We were kids together... liked each other when we met and have been close ever since. He wasn't writing when we met - in fact, I more or less started him off to write; voicing, harmony, and stuff like that.”
