Sometimes I Think, Not So Much Am

When I Was Young, I Used To Have Successes With Women Because I Was Young. Now I Have Successes With Women Because I Am Old. Middle Age Was The Hardest Part.

I Am Tired Before The Concert, Not Afterward.

Sometimes When I Sit Down To Practice And There Is No One Else In The Room, I Have To Stifle An Impulse To Ring For The Elevator Man And Offer Him Money To Come In And Hear Me.

I'm A Free Person; I Feel Terribly Free. They Could Put Me In Chains And I Still Would Be Free Because My Thoughts Would Be Mine - And That's All I Want To Have.

Composing A Concert Is Like Composing A Menu.... If You Start With Light Pieces And Play A 45-minute Sonata After The Interlude, It's Like Starting Dinner With Hors D'oeuvres And Dessert And Finishing With A Châteaubriand And Vegetables.
