I've always thought that a big laugh is a really loud noise from the soul saying, "Ain't that the truth."

If you started in New York you were dealing with the biggest guys in the world. You're dealing with Charlie Parker and all the big bands and everything. We got more experience working in Seattle.

Every day, my daddy told me the same thing. 'Once a task is just begun, never leave it till it's done. Be the labour great or small, do it well or not at all.'

Young people should travel, and they don’t. You can’t know if you don’t go.

I tell my kids and I tell proteges, always have humility when you create and grace when you succeed, because its not about you. You are a terminal for a higher power. As soon as you accept that, you can do it forever.

Greatness occurs when your children love you, when your critics respect you and when you have peace of mind.
