A Train was born without any effort - if was like writing a letter to a friend.
— Billy Strayhorn
I think everything should happen at halfway to dawn. That's when all the heads of government should meet. I think everybody would fall in love.
If you want something hard enough, it just gets done.
My grandmother played the piano, and I used to toddle over there and pick out little things that sounded good to me.
All music is beautiful.
I'll live a lush life in some small dive.
In order to play and write, it's unique - you either do one or the other.
Romance is mush, stifling those who strive.
Ever up and onward.
I'm not fit company for man or beast.
Love or not, I wouldn't subject a wife to the road. It's punishment.
You're in a mess, and in excess.
