I never dated much. I dated one girl before my wife, and that was it.

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.

The essence if hope is accepting uncertainty.

Stop looking for solutions to problems and start looking for the right path.

It would be hilarious if I worked in a bowling alley.

Life, for people, begins to crumble on the edges; they don't realize it.

I have a knack of hoping, which is as good as an estate.

Comfort comes from knowing that people have made the same journey. And solace comes from understanding how others have learned to sing again.

Play is older than culture, for culture, however inadequately defined, always presupposes human society, and animals have not waited for man to teach them their playing.

Finally I'm really happy with the way I'm playing again after a couple of frustrating years.

Those that walk with fear will always be too busy hiding.

Whose silence are you?
