I also met, early on Ella Fitzgerald. Her songbooks are some of the most amazing bodies of work.

I don't feel old, except in the morning once in a while, when I can't turn over properly and say, "What's that? When did that happen?" Our brain doesn't accept that. We're geared to last.

I'm just one of the lucky people. I have no other reason for my longevity.

Its just that some people are lucky and people still seem to enjoy the music.

Thank God for vinyl! It's wonderful to be involved in something that captures your life from almost the beginning to the end. I'm absolutely blessed.

I think there are a lot of people who really want to be famous, they really do. I don't. It sort of gets in the way of the everyday things that I do.

I love the house that I've been living in for over 40 years. I really am a homebody and I still love to play golf.
