I personally think Miles Davis is a lot funnier than me. And he's working more.

No, generally I think influence is used as a nice word for plagiarism.

If I'm going to be a jazz player, I need to understand Miles Davis.

There are certain things I don't want to joke about. If it's about somebody else, it's fine. If it's about me, I think it's totally insensitive!

I know what I've done for music, but don't call me a legend. Just call me Miles Davis.

I have tons of jazz records: John Coltrane, Thelonious Monk, Miles Davis. I could go on and on.
