I Think I Do Better When I

Just Don't Give Up Trying To Do What You Really Want To Do.

The Only Thing Better Than Singing Is More Singing.

Every Time I Look Down On This Timeless Town, Whether Blue Or Gray Be Her Skies, Whether Loud Be Her Cheers, Or Whether Soft Be Her Tears, More And More Do I Realize That...i Love Paris.

I Know I'm No Glamour Girl, And It's Not Easy For Me To Get Up In Front Of A Crowd Of People. It Used To Bother Me A Lot, But Now I've Got It Figured Out That God Gave Me This Talent To Use, So I Just Stand There And Sing.

I Owe Marilyn Monroe A Real Debt … She Personally Called The Owner Of The Mocambo, And Told Him She Wanted Me Booked Immediately, And If He Would Do It, She Would Take A Front Table Every Night. She Told Him – And It Was True, Due To Marilyn’s Superstar Status – That The Press Would Go Wild. The Owner Said Yes, And Marilyn Was There, Front Table, Every Night. The Press Went Overboard. After That, I Never Had To Play A Small Jazz Club Again. She Was An Unusual Woman – A Little Ahead Of Her Times. And She Didn’t Know It.
