Boy, I'm just quietly doing my thing, and I hope they'll look around and get my record out.

Sometimes go around with guys who are scuffling -- for awhile. But usually they end up marrying some cat with a factory. This is the way world ends, not with a whim but a banker.

By the way, I got a Grammy, which was a big thrill.

I started to play Jazz music in my early teens. A boyfriend brought records over, so I listened to everything

So I have a friend who works for me once a week. She's got e-mail, so anybody that must send an e-mail, they send it to her and she faxes it to me. Sounds like a long way of doing things, but it works for me.

Nowadays it seems to me nobody takes trouble about anything, especially writing songs.

Well it's because the record companies are pumping away with their commercial stuff. I think it's a shame.
