“You can ask me anything you like about my work, but I'll never talk about myself.”

P. L. Travers (1899–1996) Australian-British novelist, actress and journalist

As quoted by Valerie Lawson, in an interview: "The Mystic Life of P.L. Travers" (7 May 2003) http://www.abc.net.au/rn/relig/ark/stories/s844311.htm

“You don't ever get a chance to play what you really do; and if you do, you notice that you can't play, because you haven't been. And often I'd be asked to play like somebody else, like Joe Sample. I'd say, "I can't play like him. He's an original." I'd be asked to try and the producers would love it, but I'd feel rotten. Then one time I ran into Joe and he told me, "Man, I'm tired of people asking me to play like you."”

Clare Fischer (1928–2012) American keyboardist, composer, arranger, and bandleader

My jaw dropped. Then I found out this is a common practice.

But you can make me a drink.”

I surrender myself, I'll never be free
One step from the edge, is all that I'll be
Waiting for you
Like a painkiller”

“You, poor child, without toys or playmates, you played murder, because it is a game that one can play alone.”

Jupiter to Electra, Act 3
The Flies (1943)
Context: You are a tiny little girl, Electra. Other little girls dreamed of being the richest or the most beautiful women of all. And you, fascinated by the horrid destiny of your people, you wished to become the most pained and the most criminal … At your age, children still play with dolls and they play hopscotch. You, poor child, without toys or playmates, you played murder, because it is a game that one can play alone.
