The only way to enjoy anything in this life is to earn it first.

When two people love each other, they don't look at each other, they look in the same direction.

Part of the joy of dancing is conversation. Trouble is, some men can't talk and dance at the same time.

I'm not making any absurd comparisons between myself and Bach, but I aspire to that, that my music will have the legs to survive whatever context it finds itself in.

I want to live and work in Chicago for the rest of my life. You know when you were growing up and you wanted to become president? What I want now is to be mayor of this damned town in ten years.
