A lot of people don't know that Beethoven, when he wrote the Fifth Symphony, that second movement, he took eight years to figure that out!

I know Ornette was playing violin sometimes - that was his bridge into the classical world, to break up that whole pecking order.

Wayne Shorter 22 quotes

My perspective on life is now...

My perspective on life is now to try to play music that reflects that life and death are part of the same coin. And to know about life, we must really examine the function - like death. Life tells you a lot about what death is, not what people say it is.

You're like the girl who left her shadow in the drawer, but when she went to get it, it wasn't there.

There's a steady forward march of a creative process that some of us stay with and don't give up - that should be an admirable thing - from Louis Armstrong to Charlie Parker to Miles to Ornette and some people who are not even known today - some kids coming up - people who are out to change the world.

Wayne Shorter 22 quotes

When we were kids, our parent...

When we were kids, our parents would let us play outside all day, and there was a horse-drawn milk wagon that could become anything in my mind, like a spaceship or something.

I would pass this music store...

I would pass this music store on the way to school, and there was a clarinet in the window, a second-hand one. And I kept asking my parents to buy it, and eventually they did. I still have it now.

I think that music opens portals and doorways into unknown sectors that it takes courage to leap into. I always think that there's a potential that we all have, and we can emerge, rise up to this potential, when necessary. We have to be fearless, courageous, and draw upon wisdom that we think we don't have.

Wayne Shorter 22 quotes

Music is just sound - what's ...

Music is just sound - what's more important to me is behavior. I'm watching these play-offs - basketball - it's interesting to watch behavior, underneath all the movements and everything like that. They go into the audience and show some of the parents of the players and all that.

You're like the girl who left her shadow in the drawer, but when she went to get it, it wasn't there.

Jazz shouldn't have any mandates. Jazz is not supposed to be something that's required to sound like jazz. For me, the word 'jazz' means, 'I dare you.'

Wayne Shorter 22 quotes

No one really knows how to deal with the unexpected. How do you rehearse the unknown?

It's making a statement about what life is, really. And I'm going to end the line with it.

To hell with the rules. I'm going for the unknown.

I always think of music as interior decoration. So, if you have all kinds of music, you are fully decorated!

You know the actor John Garfield? In one movie he walked up to this train station, the ticket booth, and the guy says, 'Yes, where are you going?' And he says, 'I want a ticket to nowhere.' I thought: that's it. The freedom to do that. I want a ticket to nowhere.

Clouds float in the same pattern only once.
