By the way, I got a Grammy, which was a big thrill.

I'd just as soon be on a good Steinway or Yamaha just as well.

The key of D is daffodil yellow, B major is maroon, and B flat is blue.

I have a West Coast rhythm section and a New York rhythm section. I've got them spread out all over the place.

At the risk of being a fuddy-duddy I don't have a computer; I don't have e-mail; and I really don't need something in my house that I would be sitting in front of for hours.

I need to get up and walk around and keep my knees from getting bad, which is what's happening.

The house is in turmoil with records on every space. In the kitchen and in the dining room is covered with records. I don't have a big enough house to accommodate everything.

I would really hate to have e-mail. It's bad enough with all the mail I get.

It's awful to have to, but I've started thinking about that, you know. 86. I'm thinking, well, maybe I might make it to 90. At least I'd like to have my brains.

One should leave the piano when Oscar comes in. This man is dangerous.

I slept for four years. I didn't study much of anything. I majored in something called communication arts.

I'm not much of a family man. I'm just not that into it. I love kids, I adore them, but I don't want to live my life for them.

I cannot adequately express the horror I feel for a man who can be so base as to veil his hypocrisy under the cloak of religion, and state the base falsehood he has done.

I'm a bit hyperactive as an actor, I like to keep moving.

Take all the rules away. How can we live if we don't change?

I just lost my lunch and I didn’t even have any!

I feel very strongly that we make decisions about what we're giving to the world, what we're withholding from the world, by virtue of what we put on our bodies.

Europeans believe in democracy - or, at least, in republican government - but they have considered the alternatives, and continue to do so, and that scandalizes Americans.
