A Smile Is A Curve Which Can

(referring To The Piano's Natural Shape) Isn't It A Shame When Those Big Fat Opera Singers Lean Against The Pianos And Bend Them?

It (the Double-clarinet In India) Was Primarily Used For Snake Charming, Since The Snake Would Do Almost Anything To Get The Indians To Stop Playing It.

I Only Know Two Pieces; One Is 'clair De Lune' And The Other One Isn't.

When I Was A Little Boy And Played Liebestraum, My Father Used To Hit Me On The Head With A Newspaper Every Time I Slopped The Cadenza . . . I Hate Liebestraum.

That's Why I've Never Thought Of Retiring Because I Do It All The Time Whether On The Stage Or Off. I Found That In A Precarious Situation, A Smile Is The Shortest Distance Between People. When One Needs To Reach Out For Sympathy Or A Link With People, What Better Way Is There?
