"Just don't give up trying to do what you really want to do. Where there is love and inspiration, I don't think you can go wrong."
"I guess what everyone wants more than anything else is to be loved. And to know that you loved me for my singing is too much for me. Forgive me if I don't have all the words. Maybe I can sing it and you'll understand."

"Blue skies Smiling at me Nothing but blue skies Do I see"
"It isn't where you came from, its where you're going that counts."
"I owe Marilyn Monroe a real debt … she personally called the owner of the Mocambo, and told him she wanted me booked immediately, and if he would do it, she would take a front table every night. She told him – and it was true, due to Marilyn’s superstar status – that the press would go wild. The owner said yes, and Marilyn was there, front table, every night. The press went overboard. After that, I never had to play a small jazz club again. She was an unusual woman – a little ahead of her times. And she didn’t know it."
"Music is the universal language ... it brings people closer together."
"Everybody wants to know about my style and how it came about. It's no big secret. It's the way I feel."
