My teacher inspired me a lot.

This is my third time at ECC, and I'm very happy about that. It's a terrific venue.

I took it and tried to keep up with him. My love for the instruments and the music started there.

We teach them to read in kindergarten, which makes a difference.

We didn't have any champagne to toast each other. But we did have some Diet Cokes up there. We lifted the Diet Cokes.

I don't drink much anymore, but when I traveled with Frank Sinatra, God rest his soul, I used to drink like I could do it. He made it a test. In Vegas, the Rat Pack, which I was a little part of, drank all night and slept most of the day. Then, about 5 o'clock, we'd meet in the hotel steam room, lock the door, and steam our brains out.
