More From Charlie Parker

His vision, from the constantly passing bars, has grown so weary that it cannot hold anything else. it seems to him there are a thousand bars, and behind the bars, no world. as he paces in cramped circles, over and over, the movement of his powerful soft strides is like a ritual dance around a center in which a mighty will stands paralyzed. only at times, the curtain of the pupils lifts, quietly. an image enters in, rushes down through the tense, arrested muscles, plunges into the heart and is gone.

If i want to average 32 points a game, i can do that easily. it's just eight, eight, eight, eight. no problem. i can do that anytime. that's not being cocky. that's confidence.

I decided that i want to live the rest of my life happy with what i'm doing. so when i play tennis again, i have to play it for the right reason. i don't want to play to get my no. 1 ranking back. i don't want to play for the attention, or to earn more. i don't even want to play because the world wants to see me do it, even though it's nice to know that the world is interested. i only want to play because i love the game, which is the reason i began to play at age seven in the first place.
Nice Happy Life Games
I could play a cop, i could play a crook, i could play a lawyer, i could play a dentist, i could play an art critic-i could play the guy next door. i am the guy next door. i could play catholic, jewish, protestant. as a matter of fact, when i did the odd couple, i would do it a different way each night. on monday i'd be jewish, tuesday italian, wednesday irish-german-and i would mix them up. i did that to amuse myself, and it always worked.

Life is about committing ourselves on a daily basis to the best in us. freedom is a state of mind. freedom is an attitude. freedom is a spirit. you may be behind bars, but you still have the capacity to be free. i've visited some people behind bars who are freer than negroes i see running around every day. being in jail, or poor, or uneducated doesn't determine how free you can be. there are really only two types of people. either you're running scared or you're running free. i choose to run free, and you can, too, no matter what your circumstances in life.

But recently i began to feel that maybe i wouldn't be able to do what i want to do and need to do with american musicians, who are imprisoned behind these bars; music's got these bars and measures you know.

Similar Quotes
Music can always be a life-changing experience, for musicians and fans, or at least life-affecting, but it depends on to what degree.
Life Changing Musician Degrees
I prefer to think of myself as a musician who is still learning and trying to do something every time out.
Thinking Trying Musician
I don't view myself as a musician anymore - i view myself as a human being that functions as a musician when i'm functioning as a musician, but that's not 24 hours a day. that's really opened me up to even more perspectives because now i look at music, not from the standpoint of being a musician, but from the standpoint of being a human being.

A sculptor is a person who is interested in the shape of things, a poet in words, a musician by sounds.
