More quotes by Quincy Jones
Greatness occurs when your children love you, when your critics respect you and when you have peace of mind.
Quincy Jones
All the jazz guys had interracial relationships, and even the ladies did. Over the years, interracial relationships have been a hip, almost defiant thing, a way of saying Nobody can put a boundary around me.
Quincy Jones
After every war, there was a significant change in the music, and I can understand how that happened. If you participate in protecting the country, you think you can be part of it, but you come back home and it's worse than ever.
Quincy Jones
The only music I don't like is bad music.
Quincy Jones

Quincy Jones
Communications are making this one world. Back in the day, 400-500 years ago, nobody knew what anyone else was doing. It's on the 6 O'Clock news now. Now we can say, Oh, that's the way they live. Oh, they do that!! Opportunities, the chance to bring about change, it's all based on communication. Communication and jet planes.
Quincy Jones
I'm a great believer in letting lyrics just flow out, wherever they come from.
Quincy Jones
I've met every freak in the business.
Quincy Jones
My son is a hip-hop producer.
Quincy Jones
I used to practice piano for hours, and now, with a synthesizer, you can input the music and the machine perfects the song. That's why we have so many people in the music business who should be plumbers. They don't really understand music because they haven't been trained.
Quincy Jones
Hell, nobody knows where jazz is going to go. There may be a kid right now in Chitlin Switch, Georgia, who is going to come along and upset everybody.
Quincy Jones
Michael (Jackson) was so shy, he'd sit down and sing behind the couch with his back to me while I sat with my hands over my eyes-and the lights off.
Quincy Jones
Arts is just as important as military defense, you know? Emotional defense is just as important.
Quincy Jones
When I was about five or seven years old my mother was placed in a mental institution and so we were with our father who worked very hard, and we had to figure a lot of things out.
