What I really search for is something that I really love hearing, something that's my own private game: If I find a song I really like, I try to do a definitive version.

I have a very strong passion to sing and paint. I'm really a student.

I don't disrespect the audience. I only sing very well-written, intelligent songs.

Someday, when I'm awfully low, and the world is cold, I will feel a glow just thinking of you, and the way you look tonight.

Luckily for his audiences, Bennett doesn't tire of singing I Left My Heart. ... that song made me a world citizen. And when I do it, it always feels like the first time.

You can't teach it [jazz singing]. There's nobody who can teach you how to sing jazz. Either you know how to sing jazz, or you don't.

No-one will ever sound as good as Judy Garland as far as I am concerned.
