I have those dreams that you can't put into words.

Well, my dad was the district attorney of New Orleans for about 30 years.

I do the things I like to do. It's sort of a bigger version of having more than one hobby.

New Orleans is my essence, my soul, my muse...

With a tone so rich, I would never be afraid of the dark. Steinway is the only and the best!

There are people who can't stand me, they say, 'God, he makes me sick', or, 'He's creepy', but it doesn't affect me too badly.

'The Christmas Song,' by Nat King Cole, is not only a masterful performance; to me it just sounds like the holidays. I've never sung it, because Nat's version is so perfect. I gotta leave it alone.

With imagination, I'll get there.

It is jazz music that called me to be a musician and I have always sang the songs that moved me the most.

Safety's just danger, out of place.

In my life I find that memories of the spirit linger and sweeten long after memories of the brain have faded.

Life tries and succeeds in stopping you with its horrible ways during your happy times

I am young, and I am cool, and I want to wear cool clothes!

There can be economy only where there is efficiency.

With me it's always about first impressions.

Finally, it occurs to me that the biggest problem with our elections is that however you vote, you wind up electing a politician.

Circles create soothing space.

If it's not scheduled, it's not real.

It is hungry, it it immortal. Worse, it knows nothing of whim.

But you I never understood, Your spirit's secret hides like goldSunk in a Spanish galleon Ages ago in waters cold.

The sight of him did something to me I've never quite been able to explain. He was more than tremendous speed and beauty of motion. He set me dreaming.
