Most of my relationships have been like that – with record companies. Ive never had a legitimate business relationship with a company. Ive always had a personal relationship with someone in the company. – Ornette Coleman
I remember once, we got an interview, and he said, Dad, these people are writing about me like Im an adult. Dont they know Im a kid? I have never tried to encourage him to get a music image like other musicians have. – Ornette Coleman
Ive never had a relationship with a record executive. I always went to the record company by someone that liked my playing. Then they would get fired, and Id be left with the record company. And then – because they got fired – the record company wouldnt do anything for me. – Ornette Coleman
I remember once I read a book on mental illness and there was a nurse that had gotten sick. Do you know what she died from? From worrying about the mental patients not being able to get their food. She became a mental patient. – Ornette Coleman
I was writing short films and I was going through this really, really, really terrible end of a relationship that I didnt want to be going through. It was too much for me to process and all of a sudden I had this idea for my first feature film and I knew right away I had to start writing it. – Evan Glodell
