I Prefer No One To Teach Me.

When I Was First Aware That I Couldn't Read Music I Didn't Know I Couldn't Read Because I Could Play The Music That Was In Front Of Me.

You Could Play Probably A Span Of 50 Years Of Me Playing St. Louis Blues, And Most Of The Time It Will Be Different Every Time.

When You Hear Bach Or Mozart, You Hear Perfection. Remember That Bach, Mozart And Beethoven Were Great Improvisers. I Can Hear That In Their Music.

I Have More Energy At The End Than I Do At The Beginning. You Can Be So Beat Up That You Can Scarcely Walk On Stage But When You Get To The Piano The Excitement Kicks In, You Forget About Being Tired.

Probably The Most Profound Thing In The Bible Is 'love Your Enemies, Do Good To Those Who Hate You.' This Is What, To Me, Is The Essence Of Christianity.
