Although I do feel that with a show like ours we ourselves are getting a lot more young listeners at concerts.

Baldwin is sort of getting to be a bit funny. I don't know what happened, but a few years ago they suddenly went bankrupt and Gibson bought the whole outfit. Since then they haven't seemed to be doing an awfully good job of providing pianos.

Nowadays it seems to me nobody takes trouble about anything, especially writing songs.

At the risk of being a fuddy-duddy I don't have a computer; I don't have e-mail; and I really don't need something in my house that I would be sitting in front of for hours.

So I have a friend who works for me once a week. She's got e-mail, so anybody that must send an e-mail, they send it to her and she faxes it to me. Sounds like a long way of doing things, but it works for me.

Well it's because the record companies are pumping away with their commercial stuff. I think it's a shame.

I like minor tunes.

I'm trying to get the record that I made at my birthday party last year, trying to get that out, and the lawyers are diddling around with it and it probably won't be out until next year. I don't know.

I need to get up and walk around and keep my knees from getting bad, which is what's happening.

Boy, I'm just quietly doing my thing, and I hope they'll look around and get my record out.

I would really hate to have e-mail. It's bad enough with all the mail I get.

There are a million good tunes.

I'm not too fond of changing things into waltzes, but sometimes that works.

I'd just as soon be on a good Steinway or Yamaha just as well.

I love to play in the different keys like B or F sharp, or keys that most people don't play in, because they have a better resonance or something. I'm really not fond of F and C. I just stay away from those if I can.

So if I think of something in my head I don't have to do it. If I can't do I don't do it, I do something else.

As long as I can still be on my own and do my own thing and be working full time, it's great.

The house is in turmoil with records on every space. In the kitchen and in the dining room is covered with records. I don't have a big enough house to accommodate everything.

Although I do feel that with a show like ours we ourselves are getting a lot more young listeners at concerts.

It's awful to have to, but I've started thinking about that, you know. 86. I'm thinking, well, maybe I might make it to 90. At least I'd like to have my brains.

That's something Mary Lou Williams used to tell me: If you're not feeling right about what you're doing and you play a minor tune it all comes back, falls into place. I don't know if that's true, but I do it.

By the way, I got a Grammy, which was a big thrill.

I have a West Coast rhythm section and a New York rhythm section. I've got them spread out all over the place.

My hands look terrible but I can do anything I want to do, so, you know, I just think I'm playing all around with more good taste and not dashing up and down the piano.

You know what, I am not gonna lie, that Taylor Swift 'Trouble' song? I can't resist that song. Her melodies are very catchy.

Most couples have not had hundreds of arguments theyve had the same argument hundreds of times.

In Uganda, I am surrounded, unfortunately, by evangelicals; I can't bear it. Every night I hear the chants of Baptists urging people to be born again.

It's not about the money. This is about Terri. It's not about the Schindlers, it's not about the legislators, it's not about me, it's about what Terri Schiavo wanted.

At the age when other children, I imagine, experience their first 'feeling' for a person, or for art, or for religion, I was affectionate, good, and even pious: by that I mean that under the influence of my mother, I was devoted to the Child Jesus.

I simply don't understand authors that know everything before they write it; it seems so cold blooded. I think it's lovely when the story takes over and goes somewhere else.

No fear. We are never sure of anything. Fear never prevents [bad things] from happening.

When Roger Ailes hired me, he knew I was the daughter of a college professor and a nurse. There was nothing in this resume that would telegraph, 'She's a secret conservative.'

If you insist on keeping hell or even earth you will never see heaven. If you accept heaven you will not be able to retain even the smallest and most intimate souvenirs of Hell

I always feel that it's great when you can be happy when you're by yourself. That's not a bad thing.

I definitely believe in type casting. If you're a girl with bleach-blonde hair, everyone automatically thinks 'prom queen, cheerleader.' It just happens.

When I say I do, the justice of the peace replies, 'I know, I know...'

Rawness and refinement are not opposite ends of a luxurious spectrum... they are two complementary features with which to populate a luxe environment.

I'd like to get more bit-acting roles. I don't know if my talent would allow for a long dialogue, but I could definitely knock out three lines. I'd kill it.

We rest our case on the production numbers.

With patience and calm, persistence and stoicism, good handwriting and careful labeling, they would meet persecution, indignity, and hardship head-on.

Misspending a man's time is a kind of self-homicide.

America's a faith-based experiment as a country. We should celebrate and invite faith. And our motto is, 'In God We Trust.' This isn't something that divides; this is something that pulls together and lifts us up.

Honduras is strongly anti-Communist, maintains no diplomatic relations with the Soviet Union, and has provided vital support for United States-backed rebels fighting to overthrow the Sandinistas in neighboring Nicaragua.

He invented this idea of telling the life story of a great writer through becoming his characters and becoming him. It was such a pleasure and I thought we must find another writer.

I think Ovechkin is everything the NHL needs.

Aphorisms are portable wisdom, the quintessential extracts of thought and feeling.

The graceful Georgian streets and squares, a series of steel engravings under a wet sky.

Gratitude makes you feel good and proud. Complaining makes you feel bad and miserable.
