You make different colors by combining those colors that already exist.
Herbie Hancock
People are afraid to spend money now because they dont know how long theyre going to be working.
Herbie Hancock
One of the greatest experiences I ever had was listening to a conversation with Joni Mitchell and Wayne Shorter. Just to hear them talking, my mouth was open. They understand each other perfectly, and they make these leaps and jumps because they don't have to explain anything.
Herbie Hancock
In the world of Art there are no wrong choices.
Herbie Hancock
I think I was supposed to play jazz.
Herbie Hancock
The arts have always served relationships between people of different cultures so well. In a way, the arts function as a very serious kind of ambassador.
Herbie Hancock
I keep recycling and repackaging music that I've done in the past, as though I can't write anymore. Like, okay, I'm done with that. But I need to kind of prod myself again into come on, Herbie, get off your duff and start writing some new music.
Herbie Hancock
The value of music is to be able to play one note at the right time in the right way.
Herbie Hancock
Music is the tool to express life - and all that makes a difference.
Herbie Hancock
It's part of life to have obstacles. It's about overcoming obstacles that's the key to happiness.
Herbie Hancock
I spent five years, at least, working with Miles. Together, we recorded ESP, Nefertiti, Sorcerer -- and I can tell you each of these albums instantly became jazz classics. Hey, we had Wayne Shorter playing tenor sax, Ron [Carter] on bass, Tony Williams played drums. That was great band we had.
Herbie Hancock
One thing that attracted me to Buddhism was the support for this larger vision of values.
Herbie Hancock
The cool thing is that jazz is really a wonderful example of the great characteristics of Buddhism and great characteristics of the human spirit. Because in jazz we share, we listen to each other, we respect each other, we are creating in the moment. At our best, we're non-judgmental.
Herbie Hancock
It is people's hearts that move the age.
Herbie Hancock
When I was in my early teens, I remember coming to the conclusion that your life never ends.
Herbie Hancock
Back in the day for me was a great time in my life - I was in my 20s. Most people refer to their experiences in their twenties as being a highlight in their life. It's a period of time where you often develop your own way, your own sound, your own identity, and that happened with me, when I was with a great teacher - Miles Davis.
Herbie Hancock
A great teacher is one who realizes that he himself is also a student and whose goal is not dictate the answers, but to stimulate his students' creativity enough so that they go out and find the answers themselves.
Herbie Hancock
I don't mind being classified as a jazz artist, but I do mind being restricted to being a jazz artist. My foundation has been in jazz, though I didn't really start out that way. I started in classical music, but my formative years were in jazz, and it makes a great foundation.
Herbie Hancock
Life is not about finding our limitations, it's about finding our infinity.
Herbie Hancock
I feel a lot more secure about the directions I take, than I might have, had I not practiced Buddhism.
