I'm Not One Of Those

You Mustn't Underestimate An Audience's Intelligence.

My Whole Thing Is Not Just To Play Music For People, But To Make Them Part Of The Evening.

I Was Always Drawn To Broadway Musicals, And Obviously Composers Like Gershwin, Rodgers, Berlin And Porter Were Writing Music That I Found Wildly Impressive.

I Can Make A Song Up About Anything: Garbage, The Weather, Things In The News.

My Show Business Career Doesn't Mean I Can't Write A Symphony. It Just Means I Was Never Asked To Write One.
