I Figured I Could Do

My Mother Always Wanted Me To Be A Jazz Singer, But I Always Wanted To Be Raunchy.

You Can't Fake This Music. You Might Be A Great Singer Or A Great Musician But, In The Need, That's Got Nothing To Do With It. It's How You Connect To The Songs And To The History Behind Them.

I'm Not A Braggart, But When I Was A Little Girl People Used To Come From All Over Hollywood To Hear Me Sing.

Now I Can Stand Up On The Stage Again Like I Used To After Five Years Of Sitting Down While I Sang.

Jazz Took Too Much Discipline. You Have To Come In At The Right Place, Which Is Different Than Me Singing The Blues, Where I Can Sing, 'oh, Baby,' If There's A Pause In The Melody. With Jazz, You Better Leave That Space Open, Or Put In Something Real Cool.
