"Dig this: you know on the typewriter or computer the part that has the exclamation point, the question mark, the dollar sign, the percent sign? These are symbols people use when they're writing, the commas, the period signs, they use these symbols. Man, go through them and listen with your heart and ask: is the question mark enough? The exclamation point? That's the name of the music we play, it's in all of those symbols. We can't put it into words but we can put it into that."
