When I was a child I wanted to be an actor but I had really bad buckteeth. I didn't want to get braces but my mom said I couldn't be an actor if I didn't get the braces. So I got the braces.
I think I came across Cecil Taylor a bit later in 65 or 66. That really impressed me - Cecil Taylor is an amazing character... Both his music and the way he approaches the instrument are astonishing.
