"I'm trying in all my stories to get the feeling of the actual life across-not to just depict life-or criticize it-but to actually make it alive. So that when you have read something by me you actually experience the thing. You can't do this without putting in the bad and the ugly as well as what is beautiful. Because if it is all beautiful you can't believe in it. Things aren't that way."

"For poetry was all written before time was, and whenever we are so finely organized that we can penetrate into that region where the air is music, we hear those primal warblings and attempt to write them down, but we lose ever and anon a word or a verse and substitute something of our own, and thus miswrite the poem. The men of more delicate ear write down these cadences more faithfully, and these transcripts, though imperfect, become the songs of the nations."

Music
"When I was a young musician, the only option available to pursue secondary education in music was to attend a classical conservatory."
Education
"You're not the only one who's made mistakes, but they're the only things that you can truly call your own."
Mistake
"I was drawn to boxing because I got beat up as a kid. I was the kid with the piano books in a New York neighbourhood."
Books
"I have been both praised and criticized. The criticism stung, but the praise sometimes bothered me even more. To have received such praise and honors has always been puzzling to me."
Criticism
"For whatever reason, not all people are born with the particular gift of being able to express ourselves through music. And, believe me, it is a gift."
Music
"I consider myself to be an inept pianist, a bad singer, and a merely competent songwriter. What I do, in my opinion, is by no means extraordinary."
Opinion
"I am, as I've said, merely competent. But in an age of incompetence, that makes me extraordinary."
