It Took Me A Long, Long Time

Nothing Anybody's Said Or Written About Me Ever Bothers Me, Except When It Does.

The Thing That Influenced Me Most Was The Way Tommy Played His Trombone. It Was My Idea To Make My Voice Work In The Same Way As A Trombone Or Violin-not Sounding Like Them, But "playing" The Voice Like Those Instrumentalists.

Here's To The Confusion Of Our Enemies!

You Only Live Once, And The Way I Live, Once Is Enough.

And Now The End Is Near, And So I Face The Final Curtain.
