And Lennie Tristano I Like

I Just Have A Lot Off Different Influences.

The Jazz Boom Was Goin' On Then So There Was A Lot Happenin' In New York At That Time.

I'm Always Storing Away Phrases And Ideas And Things That I Think Might Turn Into Songs.

I'm Happy Whenever Anybody Does My Material. I Don't Care What They Do With It. I Do What I Want To With Other People's Songs.

I Don't Sit Down To Write A Song; They Just Come To Me From Something That Somebody Says, Or Something In The News. The Punchline Comes To Me, And I Go Over It In My Head And Get The Song Form. I Hadn't Been Doing That A Lot.
