It is jazz music that called me to be a musician and I have always sang the songs that moved me the most.

Marriage has made me a lot happier and I'm deeply in love with my wife, and I thank God for her every day.

[Frank Sinatra] was an incredible artist, the best at what he did, but it never occurred to me to model my career after what he did. There was no one I modeled my career after because there was no one else who did what I did.

My Dad is my hero. He's 85 now and he is in great health. He is handsome and strong. He has an incredible moral and ethical backbone. I couldn't have been luckier with my parents.

I'm able to sometimes express things even more articulately on the piano than I am with singing.

My life is spontaneous and things just kind of happen.

I get terrible reviews everywhere I go.
