I listen to anything anyone gives me. I always go back to a few basic favorites. I can always listen to Django Reinhardt and hear something I haven't heard before. I like to listen to Art Tatum and Coltrane and Charlie Parker. Those are guys who never seem to run out of ideas.

I want to be like Gandhi and Martin Luther King and John Lennon but I want to STAY ALIVE.

I had a year-round Christmas tree with nothing but colored vinyl 45s hanging on it, like, old Elvis records and stuff.

There are no limits to the majestic future which lies before the mighty expanse of Canada with its virile, aspiring, cultured, and generous-hearted people.

Indomitable in retreat, invincible in advance; insufferable in victory. In defeat, unbeatable; in victor, unbearable.

No one, but no one, is equal, or ever will be. Elvis was and is supreme.
