I Wanted To Make A Jazz Record.

If I'm Driving To L.a. And Have Anxiety About Making The Drive, If I've Got Peggy With Me, We're Cool.

I Was Kind Of Known As A Ballad Singer. People Would Send Ballads. Some Of Them Would Go Over My Shoulder And Float Off The Top Of My Head, And I Just Didn't Feel Anything. Then I Would Hear A Song That Would Absolutely Shake Me.

I Don't Think I Was Considered To Be A Cabaret Singer Because I Didn't Have Patter That Was Written.

I Say What's In My Heart, And I Do It In My Concerts.

I Think The Challenges For Me Was To Go Into The Studio With These Incredible Jazz Players And Come Up To Their Level Of Excellence. That's Always A Challenge.
