जब मैं सोलो बजाता हूँ, तो अपने मन में रूप और आकार देख सकता हूँ, बिल्कुल वैसे ही जैसे एक चित्रकार पेंटिंग शुरू करते वक्त रूप और आकार देखता है। और मुझे अलग-अलग रंग दिखाई देते हैं।
I can see forms and shapes in my mind when I solo, just as a painter can see forms and shapes when he starts painting. And I can see different colors.

मुझे बहुत, बहुत खुशी होती है जब लोग मेरे काम की तारीफ करते हैं या पूरी ईमानदारी से उसकी सराहना करते हैं... इससे मुझे ऐसा महसूस होता है कि शायद मैंने कुछ ऐसा किया है जो सही और मुनासिब था।
I feel very, very gratified when people are complimentary to what I have done or appreciated it with sincerity... It makes me feel that maybe I did do something that was proper and that was right.

अगर दुनिया में कोई ऐसा इंसान है जिसे हम पूर्ण कह सकें, तो मुझे लगता है जॉन उनमें से एक थे। और मुझे लगता है कि ऐसी पूर्णता इस धरती की किसी ताकत से नहीं, बल्कि किसी महान शक्ति से ही आ सकती है।
If there's any such thing as a perfect man, I think John Coltrane was one. And I think that kind of perfection has to come from a greater force than there is here on earth.

आप अपने बजाने में जितनी ईमानदारी दिखाते हैं, संगीत उतना ही आनंददायक बनता है। संगीत की शैली से इसका बहुत कम लेना-देना है। केवल ईमानदारी ही इसे खूबसूरत बनाती है।
It's the honesty you apply to your playing that makes music enjoyable. The style of the music has little to do with it. It's only honesty makes it beautiful.

संगीत जीने का एक तरीका है, यह सब कुछ है। मैं ड्रम बजाता हूँ और मेरा मानना है कि मैं इसी के लिए पैदा हुआ था।
Music is a way of life, it's everything. I play drums and that's what I believe I was born to do.

एक ड्रमर का यही काम होता है। ताल बनाए रखना। अगर आप इसके अलावा कुछ और कर सकते हैं, तो बहुत बढ़िया। लेकिन ताल सबसे जरूरी है और उस पर कोई समझौता नहीं हो सकता।
That's what the drummer is supposed to do. Keep the time. If you can do something else besides that, fine. But the time is essential and non-negotiable.

संगीत में जैज़ का सबसे बड़ा योगदान यह रहा है कि इसने कंडक्टर की भूमिका को बैंड के ही एक सदस्य को सौंप दिया, जो ताल और मिजाज समझाने के लिए हाथ हिलाने के बजाय, संगीत की प्रस्तुति का एक सक्रिय हिस्सा होता है। वह इंसान ड्रमर होता है।
The greatest contribution jazz has made in music has been to replace the role of the conductor with a member of the ensemble who, instead of waving his arms to keep time and convey mood, is an active member of the musical statement. That person is the drummer.

मेरे लिए जॉन कोल्ट्रेन धरती पर किसी फरिश्ते जैसे थे। उनका मुझ पर गहरा असर हुआ था।
To me John Coltrane was like an angel on earth. He struck me that deeply.

आपको ऐसा महसूस होना चाहिए कि आपका शरीर थिरकने लगे। जब लोग कहते हैं कि संगीत ने मुझे झकझोर दिया, तो उनका यही मतलब होता है।
You should get the feeling you should move. That's what is meant when people say the music moves me.
