“Nowadays it seems to me nobody takes trouble about anything, especiall...” — Marian McPartland Quote

Nowadays it seems to me nobody takes trouble about anything, especially writing songs.

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

Baldwin is sort of getting to be a bit funny. I don't know what happened, but a few years ago they suddenly went bankrupt and Gibson bought the whole outfit. Since then they haven't seemed to be doing an awfully good job of providing pianos.

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

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.

In 'Changeling,' I tried to show something you'd never see nowadays - a kid sitting and looking at the radio. Just sitting in front of the radio and listening. Your mind does the rest.

Nowadays it seems as though people sit down to write what they know is going to be a trilogy.

Nowadays, kids... young actors... they go straight to L.A. before they've even done anything.

If you wish at once to do nothing and be respectable nowadays, the best pretext is to be at work on some profound study.

Even nowadays a man can't step up and kill a woman without feeling just a bit unchivalrous.
