“I never really trained to be a musician, but I've been playing guitar ...” — Steve Kazee Quote

“I never really trained to be a musician, but I've been playing guitar since I was around, like, 13 years old. For me, the guitar has always been the instrument that I've played. I play a little piano. I taught myself everything by ear. I don't read music at all, which has not really been a hindrance.”

“I'm a performer. I'm pretending to be someone else. I'm not putting my own self into the show every night.”

“I will never not know where I came from. I can be in the biggest house, the best apartment, winning Tonys and Grammys and whatever, and I will always remember waiting in line for government cheese and bread and having food stamps. I had a tough life, and I will never not know the way I was raised and the place where I was raised.”

“I believe I inherited my sense of music from my father. My father was an ear piano player; he could just hear something and play it.”

“Eloquent speech is not from lip to ear, but rather from heart to heart.”

“We did envision that some day the phone would be so small that you could hang it on your ear or even have it embedded under your skin.”
