Herbie Hancock
I learned the importance of being nonjudgmental, taking what happens and trying to make it work.That's something you should apply to life.
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
If you're not judging what happens, then you're trusting what others are doing, what you're playing, and trusting what you're playing.And it can lead you to other ideas, to something maybe you hadn't expressed before.
Herbie Hancock

Herbie Hancock
It is people's hearts that move the age.
Herbie Hancock
Clare Fischer was a major influence on my harmonic concept. He and Bill Evans, and Ravel and Gil Evans, finally. You know, that's where it really came from. Almost all of the harmony that I play can be traced to one of those four people and whoever their influences were.
Herbie Hancock
I hope that I can make good music out of whatever genre I go into. Just to prove to myself that I can.
Herbie Hancock
The Internet opens up a whole new range of possibilities in a wide range of areas.
Herbie Hancock
I don't think there are any pure Africans of the African Americans, but the African part of our history was pretty much taken away from us during slavery, so the 60s gave us a chance, because of the civil rights movement, to kind of re-examine and make some sort of formal connection to our African-ness.
Herbie Hancock
You make different colors by combining those colors that already exist.
Herbie Hancock
Miles' sessions were not typical of anybody else's sessions. They were totally unique.
