When the uncreative tell the creative what to do, it stops being art Picture Quote #1

Intimate singing had a wonderful style in the 30s and 40s. It came out of Broadway and the jazz of Louis Armstrong and Billie Holliday. But Sinatra created the best romantic era that we’ve ever had Picture Quote #1

I still insist that American performers are the best performers in the world Picture Quote #1

It’s the kind of turn that happened to the great country of Germany, when Nazis came over and created tragic things, and they had to be told off.

My goal as a creative person is to express truth and beauty in whatever I do Picture Quote #1

The bottom line of any country is: what did we contribute to the world? We contributed Louis Armstrong Picture Quote #1

I think one of the reasons I’m popular again is because I’m wearing a tie. You have to be different Picture Quote #1

We’re in an era where the demand is for immediate hits that are destined to become obsolescent. Six months later, everyone forgets the artist and the tune. It’s become like a con job. Producers, engineers, lawyers and accountants all make money, but the artists don’t Picture Quote #1

I’m still learning about music. The best way to learn is to listen to the audience. When you listen to the audience, they will tell you what they like. I wish these big corporations, instead of telling the audience what they should have, would listen Picture Quote #1

I’ve taken stuff from people, too. You know though, if you steal from one person, you’re just a thief. But if you steal from everyone, that’s research Picture Quote #1

I can’t ask for more out of life, and the more I learn, the less I know Picture Quote #1

I’m not the type of person who likes to look backwards. I’ve always felt compelled to move forward and I’ve never been one to dwell in the past. All the people I’ve met, all the places I’ve been, and all the things that I’ve done have simply been part of who I am Picture Quote #1

Someday, when I’m awfully low, and the world is cold, I will feel a glow just thinking of you, and the way you look tonight Picture Quote #1

Just give a drum roll, announce my name and I come out and sing. I have a contract that says I’m a singer. So I sing Picture Quote #1

The young people look great on television. They’re youthful and have a lot of zip and energy, but when you see them live, they can only do about 20 minutes because they haven’t got the training to hold an audience for an hour and a half or so Picture Quote #1
