"It took me three weeks to write the 'Rhapsody in Blue.' I had always wanted to write something blue ..." — George Gershwin

I didn't even start playing the piano until I was about 13 or 14. I guess I must have had a little talent or whatever-you-call-it, but I practised regularly, and that's what counts.

When I'm in my normal mood, music drips from my fingers.

Upper berth, lower berth, that's the difference between talent and genius.

Why should I limit myself to only one woman when I can have as many women as I want?
