What a life

Cette très belle interview de Quincy Jones qui va sur ses 85 ans, reprise partout, remplit d’humilité. Et on a envie de tout citer. Quelle vie.

Trump is just telling them what they want to hear. I used to hang out with him. He’s a crazy motherfucker. Limited mentally — a megalomaniac, narcissistic. I can’t stand him. I used to date Ivanka, you know. (…)

I have never in my life made music for money or fame. Not even Thriller. No way. God walks out of the room when you’re thinking about money. (…)

Brando used to go cha-cha dancing with us. He could dance his ass off. He was the most charming motherfucker you ever met. He’d fuck anything. Anything! He’d fuck a mailbox. James Baldwin. Richard Pryor. Marvin Gaye. (…)

The Catholics have a religion based on fear, smoke, and murder.(…)

I stopped drinking two years ago and I feel like I’m 19 years old. I’ve never been so creative. I can’t tell you, man — what a life!
