No matter where we come from or where we're going, we've all got memories to contend with, and it's always best not to do this alone!

My father had a varied ear, from Hank Williams to Ravel.

The wonderful thing about Jazz is its willingness to take chances.

Once I was in the city, I really enjoyed it. Just to experience things. There was so much new stuff.

I've always loved singing. I find it exhilarating.

I love playing to people and seeing them react.

I had my guitar and some talent so that I could make friends with intelligent people and could talk my way out of difficult situations.

He has not learned the first lesson of life who does not every day surmount a fear.

Wow, so much of the way I've transacted my life... so much of the results that I'm happy about are because of what Daddy did.

All paths are the same, leading nowhere. Therefore, pick a path with heart!

Every time someone turns on a TV, I go in the other room and read.

For me, gratitude only brings positivity. As simplified as it sounds, I think that is key.
