“I'm trying to get the record that I made at my birthday party last yea...” — Marian McPartland Quote

I'm trying to get the record that I made at my birthday party last year, trying to get that out, and the lawyers are diddling around with it and it probably won't be out until next year. I don't know.

I'm not too fond of changing things into waltzes, but sometimes that works.

Although I do feel that with a show like ours we ourselves are getting a lot more young listeners at concerts.

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.

To give somebody your time is the biggest gift you can give.

Our birthdays are feathers in the broad wing of time.

You take away all the other luxuries in life, and if you can make someone smile and laugh, you have given the most special gift: happiness.

I love having my birthday at Australia Zoo.

I'm over the moon to be involved in the 'Doctor Who' Christmas special. I can't quite believe it as it's a part of the family tradition at the Jenkins household. I heard the news that I got the role on my 30th birthday and it was the best birthday present ever.
