The sound of the orchestra is one of the most magnificent musical sounds that has ever existed.

My one thing is I continue to be interested and want to be a student. I don't want to be a master. When I'm learning something, I'm in my element.

From Chick Corea

I haven't traveled in Africa nearly as much as I'd like to. I've been there a few times, and I'd like to learn more about the various cultures in Africa. But that's the basis point of where all of the music that I love is based upon, from Africa to Cuba to Puerto Rico to South America.

From Chick Corea

Art is a subject that is inundated with opinions. In fact, that's all it is about is opinions.

From Chick Corea

It's very difficult for me to dislike an artist. No matter what he's creating, the fact that he's experiencing the joy of creation makes me feel like we're in a brotherhood of some kind... we're in it together.

From Chick Corea

I enjoy playing the band as the band. I 'be' the whole band and I'm playing the drums, I'm playing the guitar, I'm playing the saxophone. To me, the most wonderful thing about playing music is that.

From Chick Corea

You don't have to be Picasso or Rembrandt to create something. The fun of it, the joy of creating, is way high above anything else to do with the art form.

From Chick Corea

I call myself a teacher because they want me to call myself a teacher, but actually, what I'm doing is I'm studying.

From Chick Corea

Without a doubt, my richest relationships are my long-term friendships with musical partners, because we make music together. That's what we love to do with our lives.

From Chick Corea

Talking about the body getting old, there's a sadness to it in a way.
