Ornette Coleman quote: "I think that those elements - light and sound - are beyond..."
I think that those elements - light and sound - are beyond democratic. They're into the creative part of life. Ornette Coleman
I've had those people very interested in my writing. Since I think of myself as a composer, I feel really good. I've had lots of guys call me up. I've gotten two or three commissions to write things. I've written lots of movie scores. Ornette Coleman
I'm having this conversation with you now. I'm talking, but I'm thinking, feeling, smelling, and moving. Yet I'm concentrating on what you're saying. So that means there's more things going on in the body than just the present thing that the person's got you doing. Ornette Coleman
I don't really live like a musician myself. I think music is just something that I do, but I'd like to be doing lots of other things. I like to cure all kinds of illness. Ornette Coleman
No one has to learn to spell to talk, right? You see a little kid holding a conversation with an adult. He probably doesn't know the words he's saying, but he knows where to fit them to make what he's thinking logical to what you're saying. Ornette Coleman
That's what I was trying to say when we were talking about sound. I think that every person, whether they play music or don't play music, has a sound - their own sound, that thing that you're talking about. Ornette Coleman
I don't know what they're thinking about. Just because someone says, 'I like what you do' or something: They might like it today and tomorrow they might not. I've had that experience with record companies. Ornette Coleman
Ornette Coleman quote: "Originally, I wanted to be a composer. I always tell people,..."
Originally, I wanted to be a composer. I always tell people, 'I think of myself as a composer.' Ornette Coleman
