Louis Armstrong

“I do believe that my whole success goes back to that time I was arrested as a wayward boy at the age of thirteen. Because then I had to quit running around and began to learn something. Most of all, I began to learn music.”

“There is two kinds of music, the good, and the bad. I play the good kind.”

“Music is life itself. What would this world be without good music? No matter what kind it is.”

“I warm up at home. I hit the stage, I'm ready, whether it's rehearsal or anything.”

“What we play is life.”
