At the risk of being a fuddy-duddy I don't have a computer; I don't have e-mail; and I really don't need something in my house that I would be sitting in front of for hours.

So if I think of something in my head I don't have to do it. If I can't do I don't do it, I do something else.

One should leave the piano when Oscar comes in. This man is dangerous.

That's something Mary Lou Williams used to tell me: If you're not feeling right about what you're doing and you play a minor tune it all comes back, falls into place. I don't know if that's true, but I do it.

I'm not too fond of changing things into waltzes, but sometimes that works.

I need to get up and walk around and keep my knees from getting bad, which is what's happening.

There are a million good tunes.
