More quotes by Herbie Hancock
Music is the tool to express life - and all that makes a difference.
Herbie Hancock
When you struggle to reach for something you don't know, that's where most of the interesting stuff is.
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
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

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

Herbie Hancock
It pulled me like a magnet, jazz did, because it was a way that I could express myself.
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 try to practice with my life.
Herbie Hancock
We need to move into a culture of peace. What I hope to promote is the idea that we all need each other and that the greatest happiness in life is not how much we have but how much we give. That's a wealth that's priceless. You can't buy compassion.
Herbie Hancock
I've never really been interested in doing a solo piano tour.
Herbie Hancock
The Internet opens up a whole new range of possibilities in a wide range of areas.
Herbie Hancock
So much of what I create has been due to the influence of Miles Davis and Donald Byrd, and so many of those that have passed on. Their music, their legacy lives on with the rest of us because we are so highly influenced by their experience and what they have given us.
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 risk-taking is a great adventure. And life should be full of adventures.
Herbie Hancock
The thing that we possess, that machines don't, is the ability to exhibit wisdom.
Herbie Hancock
In the world of Art there are no wrong choices.
