Herbie Hancock
As a human being, I'm concerned about the world that I live in.So, I'm concerned about peace.I'm concerned about man's inhumanity to man. I'm concerned about the environment.
Herbie Hancock
When I was in my early teens, I remember coming to the conclusion that your life never ends.
Herbie Hancock
I've always been interested in science. I used to take watches apart and clocks apart, and there's little screws, and a little this and that, and I found out if I dropped one of them, that thing ain't gonna work.
Herbie Hancock
I think I was supposed to play jazz.
