One should leave the piano when Oscar comes in. This man is dangerous.

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.

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

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.

The best kind of design isn't necessarily an object, a space, or a structure: it's a process- dynamic and adaptable.

Sanctification will be drudgery unless we believe that holiness is possible and that it is pleasing to God.

When you have so much pain, you think you will lose consciousness. If you say to yourself, ‘So what, lose consciousness,’ the pain goes away.

Every right is married to a duty, every freedom owes a corresponding responsibility.

Next to a sincere compliment, I think I like a well-deserved and honest rebuke.
