More quotes by Quincy Jones
I've always thought that a big laugh is a really loud noise from the soul saying, Ain't that the truth.
Quincy Jones
The act of multitrack recording is the act of arranging.
Quincy Jones
I was inspired by a lot of people when I was young, every band that came through town, to the theater, or the dance hall. I was at every dance, every night club, listened to every band that came through, because in those days we didn't have MTV, we didn't have television.
Quincy Jones
A great song can make a terrible singer sound good, but a good singer - you put a great song on top of that, you're really in great shape!
Quincy Jones
I learned real early why God gave us two ears and one mouth, because you're supposed to listen twice as much as you talk.
Quincy Jones
Benny [Carter] opened the eyes of a lot of producers and studios, so that they could understand that you could go to blacks for other things outside of blues and barbecue. He's a total musician. He was the pioneer, he was the foundation. He made it possible for that doubt to be taken away.
Quincy Jones

Quincy Jones
I'm a great believer in letting lyrics just flow out, wherever they come from.
Quincy Jones
Every day you must be able to say, I have to get up because I'm needed by someone. As long as you have that, you're healthy.
Quincy Jones
I improvised my life along the way - I just moved step-by-step. And I knew that if I got better, something would happen.
Quincy Jones
You can study orchestration, you can study harmony and theory and everything else, but melodies come straight from God.
Quincy Jones
All guys get into music because they love music and they also want to get the girls.
Quincy Jones
Music in movies is all about dissonance and consonance, tension and release.
Quincy Jones
Playing the game, and unfortunately, playing the gangster game is very profitable.
Quincy Jones
A song should have all the color and beauty of every rose.
Quincy Jones
I'm never in my life going to do a record that's a tribute to myself. I don't need it.
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
Greatness occurs when your children love you, when your critics respect you and when you have peace of mind.
Quincy Jones
