The more I live, the more I learn. The more I learn, the more I realize, the less I know.

Like a circle in a spiral Like a wheel within a wheel Never ending or beginning On an ever-spinning reel As the images unwind Like the circles that you find In the windmills of your mind.

"The more I live, the more I learn The more I learn, the more I realize, the less I know"

I insist on a Steinway for my recordings, my concerts and my home. It is the only piano I want to hear my music played on.

So I write melodies - thirty, forty, fifty - then I cast them off until I have just two or three. If only one is needed, I go see the director and ask him to decide.

Here is how I work: when I think that a film needs to have a principal theme, I search for a melody.

I would listen to something on the radio and try to tap out the melody, then the harmonies.

To play piano is a significant part of my life, my existence. It fulfills a very physical & spiritual need for me.

I have a very strange melodic gift: melodies come to me effortlessly.

No hard feelings about that time in the Crucible when you mixed my salts and I was nearly blind for a day. No. No, really, drink up!

Worry does not empty tomorrow of its sorrow, it empties today of its strength.

Some call it bootlegging. Some call it racketeering. I call it a business.

Everything is beautiful. Pop is everything.

You are always hoping that movie audiences are interested in characters and interested in story values rather than just mindless special effects. But you never know.

I just see myself as just an ordinary chick from Florida, not some beautiful woman.

Change as change is mere flux and lapse; it insults intelligence. Genuinely to know is to grasp a permanent end that realizes itself through changes.

We are not called to bring a broken planet back to its created glory. But we are to call broken people back to their creator.

I've never really considered myself a home run hitter. Mostly I'm a guy who hits into the gaps for a lot of doubles.
