"Dalam musik, ketika Anda mengembangkan tema atau ide musik, ada banyak titik di mana arah harus diputuskan, dan setiap saat saya berada dalam pergolakan debat dengan diri saya sendiri, secara harmonis atau melodi, saya akan beralih ke Billy Strayhorn. Kami akan berbicara, dan kemudian seluruh dunia akan menjadi fokus. Tangan yang kuat dari penilaiannya yang baik menunjuk pada cara yang jelas yang cocok untuk kita. Dia tidak, sebagaimana dia sering disebut oleh banyak orang, alter ego saya. Billy Strayhorn adalah tangan kanan saya, lengan kiri saya, semua mata di belakang kepala saya, otak saya di kepalanya, dan dia di tangan saya."

--- Duke Ellington

Versi Bahasa Inggris

In music, as you develop a theme or musical idea, there are many points at which directions must be decided, and at any time I was in the throes of debate with myself, harmonically or melodically, I would turn to Billy Strayhorn. We would talk, and then the whole world would come into focus. The steady hand of his good judgment pointed to the clear way that was fitting for us. He was not, as he was often referred to by many, my alter ego. Billy Strayhorn was my right arm, my left arm, all the eyes in the back of my head, my brainwaves in his head, and his in mine.
