When I'm In My Normal Mood, Music

Jazz Is One Of The Best Things That You Can Find In Your Life, It Can Always Be Your Friend.

When Jazz Is Played In Another Nation, It Is Called American. When It Is Played In Another Country, It Sounds False. Jazz Is The Result Of The Energy Stored Up In America.

My People Are Americans. My Time Is Today.

I Didn't Even Start Playing The Piano Until I Was About 13 Or 14. I Guess I Must Have Had A Little Talent Or Whatever-you-call-it, But I Practised Regularly, And That's What Counts.

Writing Music Is Not So Much Inspiration As Hard Work.
