Primarily I'm a meat man, although once in a while I toy with a few vegetables.

I can't bear to see myself even in movies. The feeling is complex. I can't stand the sight of myself.

When I first organized the King Cole Trio back in 1937, we were strictly what you would call an instrumental group. To break the monotony, I would sing a few songs here and there between the playing. I sang things I had known over the years. I wasn't trying to give it any special treatment, just singing. I noticed thereafter people started requesting more singing, and it was just one of those things.

Music is emotional, and you may catch a musician in a very unemotional mood or you may not be in the same frame of mind as the musician. So a critic will often say a musician is slipping.

There's just one thing I can't figure out. My income tax!
