• Cuando se piensa en diversidad, George Duke encaja mejor que mucha gente. Ha tocado mucho jazz directo con gente como Nancy Wilson y Cannonball Adderley; ha tocado mucha fusión con sus propios grupos, con Stanley Clarke; y, ya sabes, hizo rock con Frank Zappa. Ha escrito todo tipo de grandes arreglos para gente como Burt Bacharach. Por lo tanto, ha cubierto el tablero. Sigue siendo un gran pianista.

  Christian McBride

• The whole movie thing has never been a source of great pride for me, in that Burt Reynolds, who starred in the picture, butchered the original script I had written for the late Steve McQueen, and the result, while a massive moneymaker, was lashed by the critics. But like the old joke about Pierre the Bridge Builder, The Cannonball Run is indelibly inscribed on my so-called career portfolio, and few conversations with strangers pass without the subject of the picture arising.
