Music to me is just like breathing. I have to have it. It's part of me.

Music to me is like breathing. I don't get tired of breathing, I don't get tired of music.

The important thing is to feel your music, really feel it and believe it.

Sometimes my dreams are so deep that I dream that I'm dreaming.

Music is my life, professionally, for nearly 60 years. To be recognized by the academy is still the highest honor.

Even though I'm not Jewish...Israel is one of the few causes I feel good about supporting.

Music is about the only thing left that people don't fight over.
