Quincy Jones Quick Facts:
"I’m a great believer in letting lyrics just flow out, wherever they come from. Get out of the way of yourself… You have to use the subconscious mind. Don’t become a victim of paralysis by analysis. I like to hit it, and just go with the gut. Do something that gives you goose bumps." - Quincy Jones
