I made the tenor sax - there's nobody plays like me and I don't play like anybody else.

I honestly can't characterize my style in words. It seems that whatever comes to me naturally, I play.

Some people say there was no jazz tenor before me. All I know is I just had a way of playing and I didn't think in terms of any other instrument but the tenor.
