More quotes by Quincy Jones
I went with Lionel Hampton for three years. Out of that came a trip to Europe.
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
You want your parents to say, Hey, I'm proud of you. When you don't hear that, you learn to compensate. You say, Hell, I don't need their approval. If I get my music right, I'll have everyone else's approval. I didn't understand it then, but I now know that's what happened to me.
Quincy Jones
I'm just a musician and a record producer.
