Cecil Taylor

Rhythm is the life of space of time danced through.

To me, the piano in itself is an orchestra.

I discovered very early that it wasn't quite enough for me to imitate people.

Composers, like authors, have a lot in common. Our main goal is to connect with the listener emotionally.

So every dollar of income that I have that is potentially taxed away is a dollar I can't put in my company to create a job. My entire company is around job creation.

If you're not having a good time, find something else that gives you some joy in life.
