[Miles] Davis was a man of few words. When he did speak, his words often had a similar effect to a hand grenade being lobbed into the room.

During dinner, Nancy Reagan turned to him and asked what he’d done with his life to merit an invitation. Straight-faced, Davis replied: “Well, I’ve changed the course of music five or six times. What have you done except fuck the president?”
