Gerry Mulligan

If you've only got one horn playing, I still want the sense of ensemble.

Only the French, I guess, really use tenor and alto to any great extent in the orchestra.

This life of being a transient human being has gotten to a point when it's very hard to bear.

I've always been very determined, ever since I was a little girl, to make my way.

I would've done anything to work with Satyajit Ray.

So I write melodies - thirty, forty, fifty - then I cast them off until I have just two or three. If only one is needed, I go see the director and ask him to decide.
