“People try to look for deep meanings in my work. I want to say, 'They're just cartoons, folks. You laugh or you don't.' Gee, I sound shallow. But I don't react to current events or other stimuli. I don't read or watch TV to get ideas. My work is basically sitting down at the drawing table and getting silly.” PeopleWantTryingLooksIdeasSoundWatchesLaughingEventsTvsSittingTablesFolksCurrentsDrawingSillyShallowCartoonStimulusSitting DownCurrent EventsDeep Meaning Author:Gary Larson
“One kid said to me, he said, Mr. Lloyd, we really owe you. And I explained to him, man, you owe me absolutely nothing. I said, whatever kind of career I had, it has served me well, but you do owe some people. And the people you owe are the folks who are going to come behind you. It's incumbent upon each watch — when you play your 10, 11 years and you're in your group — when you leave, I truly hope that you've done all you can possibly do to leave it a better place for the folks who come behind you.” PeopleMenYearsWellsKindSaidDonePlayKidsBehindsCareersWatchesGroupsFolksBetter PlaceBehind YouAbsolutely NothingIncumbents Author:Earl Lloyd

“I think the other thing that's important is getting to a place, which very, very rarely happens with improvising groups, where somebody can decide not to play for a while. You watch any group of musicians improvising together and they nearly all play nearly all the time. In fact I often say that the biggest difference between classical music and everything else is that classical musicians sometimes shut up because they're told to, because the score tells them to. Whereas any music that's sort of based on folk or jazz, everybody plays all the time.” ThinkingImportantSometimesPlayFactsHappensTogetherDifferencesWatchesGroupsMusicianJazzFolksScoreShut UpClassical MusicImprovisingClassical Musicians Author:Brian Eno
