Louis Armstrong

I don't know why they call it 'pop music.' It's just music, man.

I just want to play good music. That's all I care about.

My life has been my music, my life has been my people. And my people is music.

Jazz is played from the heart. You can even live by it. Always love it.

I don't know where I'm going from here, but I promise it won't be boring.

I just want to be remembered as a good jazz musician and a good man.

I'm not playing anything new. I'm just playing me.

I think I'm a jazz musician. I don't know what else I am.

I don't sing. I just make noises.

I don't play jazz. I play Louis Armstrong.

I'm not a politician. I'm a musician. I just want to play my horn.

I was born with a horn in my hand, and a song in my heart.

I don't care if I'm playing for a king or a pauper, I just play my best.

I don't socialize with white people. I work with them.

The government can't take away my marijuana. I've got a doctor's prescription.
