I Just Want To Make My Mark,

When I Started To Sing Like Myself - As Opposed To Imitating Nat Cole, Which I Had Done For A While - When I Started Singing Like Ray Charles, It Had This Spiritual And Churchy, This Religious Or Gospel Sound. It Had This Holiness And Preachy Tone To It. It Was Very Controversial. I Got A Lot Of Criticism For It.

Music To Me Is Like Breathing. I Don't Get Tired Of Breathing, I Don't Get Tired Of Music.

If You Can Play The Blues, You Can Do Anything.

Dreams, If They're Any Good, Are Always A Little Bit Crazy.

I Don't Sing A Song Unless I Feel It. The Song Don't Tug At My Heart, I Pass On It. I Have To Believe In What I'm Doing.
