If I'm driving to L.A. and have anxiety about making the drive, if I've got Peggy with me, we're cool.

I recorded my first jazz record in the '70s.

Possibly, I should have been a jazz singer from the beginning.

Jazz radio is not very friendly to pop singers who decide to make a jazz record. But a lot of people have been. A lot of the people I've talked to like the record.

I don't think I was considered to be a cabaret singer because I didn't have patter that was written.

I'm not stopping. My dream has come true, and I'm staying.

It seems that jazz is more cerebral and more mathematical in a sense.
