I don't think I was considered to be a cabaret singer because I didn't have patter that was written.

Possibly, I should have been a jazz singer from the beginning.

I think you have to have a jazz pedigree to be on jazz radio.

If I could live in a cabaret, I would. If I could live in 'Moulin Rouge,' I would.

A cabaret song has got to be written - for the middle voice, ideally - because you've got to hear the wit of the words. And a cabaret song gives the singer room to act, more even than an opera singer.

If I'm driving to L.A. and have anxiety about making the drive, if I've got Peggy with me, we're cool.
