There is a Miles Davis quote which goes something like

"You have to play a lot of years before you can learn to
play like yourself."

Can anyone supply a more accurate version of this? Any other
Miles Davis quotes?

Thanks,
Dan

At a recording session on Christmas Eve 1954, Miles Davis and Thelonious had
a disagreement about whether the pianist should 'lay out' or not during
Miles' solo. Rumour had it that there was a fight. (There is a 'verbal
exchange' on the recording at the beginning of "The Man I Love" on 'Miles
Davis and the Modern Jazz Giants.')

Miles Davis - "Monk was a gentle person, gentle and beautiful, but he was
strong as an ox. And if I had ever said something about punching Monk out in
front of his face - and I never did - then somebody should have just come
and got me and taken me to the madhouse, because Monk could have just picked
my little ass up and thrown me through a wall."

Thelonious Monk - "Miles'd got killed if he hit me."
