- Leading a boat and leading a band: In both activities, there's only the truth. If you're on the sea, you have your own vessel that only you put together, your own crew. You work with the sea, or you lose. It's the same in art, not just jazz. There's no way you can take it.
- On his island and Charles Mingus: Unlike a band, they have no talent. You can put up with anything from him.
- That stimulated my interest in music again.
- On leaving the music business for sailing: It was nice to make a little money for a change. It was a paid vacation of sun and fun. I had little time for music.
