I have always thought of music as a highway with many lanes.

Normally I can balance two or three things. The problem is when you're out of work and don't have anything to balance. I think people assume you're always busy. You go through dry spells.

My whole thing is not just to play music for people, but to make them part of the evening.

I was always drawn to Broadway musicals, and obviously composers like Gershwin, Rodgers, Berlin and Porter were writing music that I found wildly impressive.

I'm not one of those people who says, 'I never read reviews,' because I don't believe those people.

I can make a song up about anything: garbage, the weather, things in the news.
