“I would really hate to have e-mail. It's bad enough with all the mail ...” — Marian McPartland Quote

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

Boy, I'm just quietly doing my thing, and I hope they'll look around and get my record out.

Well it's because the record companies are pumping away with their commercial stuff. I think it's a shame.

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

That's something Mary Lou Williams used to tell me: If you're not feeling right about what you're doing and you play a minor tune it all comes back, falls into place. I don't know if that's true, but I do it.

I love reader mail, and I do read it, but I won't read hate mail.

I like to write paper mail - nobody does that anymore - with my pen pals.

If you want something, it will elude you. If you do not want something, you will get ten of it in the mail.

I just feel like there's this illicit thrill in reading other people's mail and spying on their lives.

The fan mail I get every day is incredible. It piles through the door from not just Britain but everywhere. It is so great to have that support behind me - everyone says I am an inspiration. It is great.
