Famous quotes by Stanley Clarke:

"It was kind of cool to be able to go back and listen to what it was that I was doing during a particular time in my career."

"George is a great combination of science and soul, I've never forgotten where I come from. This is my home."

"He's probably the most interesting musician I've met in the last 10 years. You can write anything for him, and he can play it."

"We had these huge amplifiers, and the band's energy level was just astounding. I recently saw a picture taken near the gig of myself, John McLaughlin and Tony sitting on this rock. God, we were so young. It's the only time that the three of us were together."

"I think I've done more recording in the past 10 years than most people, but it's all been directed toward film composing and soundtracks. Just the same, it's been great."

"After my last solo album in '93, I got heavily into the film-composing thing. I didn't really have much to say... I was going through a divorce at that point, and to be quite honest, I really wasn't in the mood for making a CD then."

"Maya Angelou is a very prolific writer. You can read her stuff down once and sort of walk away, but if you really want to get the richness of what she is saying you have to check it out a couple of times."

"I live a different way today. I have a family, and they are a priority for me. These days, I no longer wake up in the morning and worry if my bass is tuned properly and practice for hours and hours on end. I don't perform as much, but when I do, there's such magic to working in front of a live audience."

"The main thing that everyone was looking for in selecting which songs would go on this anthology were the ones in which the bass was really prominent."

"I feel very honored that I got a chance to work with Maya Angelou and Oprah Winfrey."

"It's very difficult sometimes having bands, you know, when all the members aren't on the same page."

"Usually, when I do a soundtrack, the music from the movie doesn't have anything to do with me personally. It's music to enhance to the film. My own stuff is more introspective and about what's on going in my head."

"After all my years of doing instrumental music I still like just a simple instrumental song with a nice catchy melody and an opportunity to play a solo over a harmonic structure."

"You can actually go to school and college to learn how to play and get technical with the electric bass."

"There are few words in the music business or in art that I'll say people or some writers are overgenerous with words like 'legend' or 'genius', 'he's a pioneer' and all of that."

"When you win a Grammy, it links a certain prestige and importance to you, you know? People want to talk to you."

"I actually think that bass is probably the instrument that has evolved in a quantum leap compared to other instruments. It's the instrument that's evolved the most, especially with how it's perceived. And even how it's played, and how it's viewed from a point of view of commerce, like with the music industry."

"Bass players are always the intellectual kind, but nobody knows it."

"I felt like I was trailblazing. And that's what I did."
