I need to get up and walk around and keep my knees from getting bad, which is what's happening.

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

The key of D is daffodil yellow, B major is maroon, and B flat is blue.

By the way, I got a Grammy, which was a big thrill.

I have a West Coast rhythm section and a New York rhythm section. I've got them spread out all over the place.

At the risk of being a fuddy-duddy I don't have a computer; I don't have e-mail; and I really don't need something in my house that I would be sitting in front of for hours.

The house is in turmoil with records on every space. In the kitchen and in the dining room is covered with records. I don't have a big enough house to accommodate everything.

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

It's awful to have to, but I've started thinking about that, you know. 86. I'm thinking, well, maybe I might make it to 90. At least I'd like to have my brains.

You can start something, do it, and believe that that's what you're doing, but then the inspiration comes and it's like, "Nope, this is what it is."

The oak tree: not interested in cherry blossoms.

Elephants are contagious.

To me, heaven is a real place. I don't believe it's a state of being.

I don't do anything that is not fun. I just don't do it.
