You take romance - I'll take Jell-O.

Whatever she does to my songs, she always makes them sound better.

Coming through the years, and finding that I not only have just the fans of my day, but the young ones of today - that's what it means, it means it was worth all of it.

Sometimes when we're flying or in the hotel, I might run over songs, or in the bathroom.

Everybody wants to know about my style and how it came about. It's no big secret. It's the way I feel.

The only thing better than singing is more singing.

Some kids in Italy call me 'Mama Jazz; I thought that was so cute. As long as they don't call me 'Grandma Jazz.'
