Famous quotes by Quincy Jones:

"They said, 'Why don't you make a hit record?' I said, 'It's not a big deal.' Because jazz musicians, there was a syndrome there. And the first record I had out was (Lesley Gore's) 'It's My Party.' I was trying to get her to change her name and I had to go to Tokyo for three weeks. I said, 'We'll fix it when I get back.' So, as soon as I got back it was No. 1. We did it, man. We had 19 hits in four years. Unbelievable."

"Irvin has a broad taste. That's why he had all those (vocalist) girls. He had everybody, man. It was across the board and I think that's what we shared, that diversified taste."

"It's worth about a half-billion dollars now. He had magazine publishing, too, with Liberty. It's ironic because I ended up being the founder of Vibe magazine. There are just a few people who will teach you what that's about."

"Tony is the one who knows how to fly us to the moon and get us back."

"I am committing myself to doing everything possible to pull the resources together to aid the children of not only Cambodia, but the children of all the countries in the world."

"I've never looked back in my life. I don't want to see that stuff. I had blanked out a lot of stuff ... putting my mother in a straitjacket, my father holding her down, screaming."

"Ray Charles is a giant. He was one of my mentors. He would write arrangements in Braille, and translate it to me. At 14 and 16 we used to sit in Seattle on those rainy days and dream about what would happen."

"I don't deserve a Songwriters Hall of Fame Award. But fifteen years ago, I had a brain operation and I didn't deserve that, either. So I'll keep it."

"Your future is so bright it burns my eyes"

"Peace is possible around the world, and children are the answer."

"Imagine what a harmonious world it could be if every single person, both young and old shared a little of what he is good at doing."

"Music in movies is all about dissonance and consonance, tension and release."

"I went with Lionel Hampton for three years. Out of that came a trip to Europe."

"I found this out over the years, that racism is a thinly veiled disguise over economics and money. It really is."

"I'm never in my life going to do a record that's a tribute to myself. I don't need it."

"My grandmother had this high-tech security system - a rusty nail she used to lock the door."

"If architecture is frozen music then music must be liquid architecture."

"We spent most of our life almost like street rats just running around the street until we were ten years old."

"I was inspired by a lot of people when I was young. Every band that came through town, to the theater, or the dance hall. I was at every dance, every night club, listened to every band that came through, because in those days we didn't have MTV, we didn't have television."

"I'm a great believer in letting lyrics just flow out, wherever they come from."
