I still insist that American performers are the best performers in the world.

It's really quite a situation. It's ridiculous. I make $200,000, $300,000 a night. For years I was working little dives, and if I got $700 a week, I'd say, "Wow, I'm really cooking.

I left my heart in San Francisco, high on a hill, it calls to me. To be where little cable cars climb halfway to the stars, the morning fog may chill the air, I don't care. My love waits there in San Francisco, above the blue and windy sea, when I come home to you, San Francisco , your golden sun will shine for me.

I plan to do my next two albums with Lady Gaga . She is quite a talent.

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.

More than anybody else I’d like to thank Count Basie for teaching me how to perform.

Just give a drum roll, announce my name & I come out & sing. I have a contract that says I'm a singer. So I sing.
