The rumors of my death have been greatly exaggerated.

Why would I retire? Sit at home and watch TV? No thanks. I'd rather be out playing.

And I loved Fats Waller. I love his instrumental abilities, his vocal abilities and his sense of humor.

In the end, the love you take is equal to the love you make.

Looking back, I think I was always musical. My dad was very musical, and I think my mom was musical.
