I Never Bothered About Keeping

I Just Try To Do As Good Job With The Material As I Can And Play Some Jazz As Well, Some Improvised Music, And Do That Every Night. Just See Where It Goes.

I'm Playin' The Music I Like.

I Told [my Daughter Amy] At An Early Age That She Had A Good Ear. But I Didn't Influence Her Music Much. She's Pretty Much Developed Her Style On Her Own, And She's A Talented Songwriter.

My Dad Was A Self-taught Stride Piano Player. The Myth Is - I Don't Whether It's True Or Not - That He Taught Himself To Play By Watching A Player Piano.

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.
