“I have leveled with the girls - from Anchorage to Amarillo.
I tell them that all marriages are happy
It's the living together afterward that's tough.
I tell them that a good marriage is not a gift,
It's an achievement.

Musicians pick up sounds and incorporate that into their playing, so the music that they make will be different.”
― Miles Davis, Miles: The Autobiography

Unless, of course, they’re the type of nightmares that have an appetite, then you’re fucked.”
