“I don't think that jazz, as any kind of an art form, has any permanence attached to it, apart from the practitioners of it.”

“I don't think I will ever do any tours again in the United States. I rather think that that's over with.”

“If you look at my audiences, even in Europe, they're hardly teenagers.”

“You can't really ignore what's going on in this planet, in our world, and the way it's all falling apart.”

“I did a lot of engineering things, like taking apart my brother's model car when I was 10. I also played the piano for about 10 years. I auditioned for Juilliard but didn't get in.”

“The best holiday I went on as a kid was to Disney World. I wore the same Minnie Mouse dress for 5 days straight and refused to go on any rides apart from It's A Small World. I think my parents wanted to kill me.”
