“The saxophone is an imperfect instrument, especially the tenor and sop...” — Stan Getz Quote

“The saxophone is an imperfect instrument, especially the tenor and soprano, as far as intonation goes. The challenge is to sing on an imperfect instrument that is outside of your body.”

“I came from an era when we didn't use electronic instruments. The bass wasn't even amplified. The sound was the sound you got.”

“You can read all the textbooks and listen to all the records, but you have to play with musicians that are better than you.”

“Never have I ever come across any woman who is imperfect!”

“I love an imperfect rhyme.”

“There's a lot of 'oops' from us in life as people. I always say that God never says 'oops.' That's just kind of how I've always lived my life, but we're so imperfect that there's a lot of times that we say, 'Oops, my bad.'”
