Most of the people I admire, they usually smell funny and don't get out much. It's true. Most of them are either dead or not feeling well.

Sometimes words are just music themselves. Like 'Chicago' is a very musical sounding name.

...and I'm standing on the corner of Fifth and Vermouth.

Don't you know there ain't no devil, it's just god when he's drunk.

I always had a great appreciation for jazz, but I'm a very pedestrian musician. I get by. I like to think that my main instrument is vocabulary.

Mostly I straddle reality and the imagination. My reality needs imagination like a bulb needs a socket. My imagination needs reality like a blind man needs a cane.

Most people don't care if you're telling them the truth or if you're telling them a lie, as long as they're entertained by it.
