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

The fabulous places I've been, wonderful things that've happened, great people I've met ought to make a story.

I don't want to say the wrong thing, which I always do. I think I do better when I sing.

Ella knows her way around her voice as very few people today. But there are times when she seems to be unaware there are things the human voice just doesn't do. She does them.

I think I do better when I sing.

Listen to her voice, don't look at her.

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