I try to tell the story about...

I try to tell the story about the song with the believability that I've lived it myself and I understand what it's all about.

Every city I go to is an opportunity to paint, whether it's Omaha or Hawaii.

Tony Bennett 52 quotes

There's always something ever...

There's always something every night that I learn from reacting to what the audience is reacting to. You learn what to leave out, what to put in, if you need a little more comedy or more drama.

Tony Bennett 52 quotes

Don't try to be just like som...

Don't try to be just like some other singer hitting it big - find your own style and be honest in your performances. And never underestimate your audience.

I left my heart in San Franci...

I left my heart in San Francisco, high on a hill, it calls to me. To be where little cable cars climb halfway to the stars, the morning fog may chill the air, I don't care. My love waits there in San Francisco, above the blue and windy sea, when I come home to you, San Francisco , your golden sun will shine for me.

I have to say I owe my career...

I have to say I owe my career to the master composers of the Great American Songbook who have written such high-quality songs - the best popular music ever composed.

The biggest message I've give...

The biggest message I've given our team, and I think it's really important, is first of all, no one can take away what happened last year. It's obviously a fun year, a terrific year. But I think a big mistake would be to try to compare themselves or ourselves to last year's team. I think the key really is, and I told them this: for you as a group, you're a different team.

More than anybody else I’d like to thank Count Basie for teaching me how to perform.

I don't look down to an audience. I look up to them. They respond to quality.

I've taken stuff from people,...

I've taken stuff from people, too. You know though, if you steal from one person, you're just a thief. But if you steal from everyone, that's research.

I consider myself a method singer, not a method actor. I applied method acting to singing.

We're in an era where the dem...

We're in an era where the demand is for immediate hits that are destined to become obsolescent. Six months later, everyone forgets the artist and the tune. It's become like a con job. Producers, engineers, lawyers and accountants all make money, but the artists don't.

I'm not the type of person wh...

I'm not the type of person who likes to look backwards. I've always felt compelled to move forward and I've never been one to dwell in the past. All the people I've met, all the places I've been, and all the things that I've done have simply been part of who I am.

I knew very early that somehow I would sing and draw and paint my whole life.

I'd like to have every gentleman and lady in this room commit themselves to get our government to legalize drugs. So they have to get it through a doctor, not just some gangsters who sell it under the table. Let's legalize drugs like they did in Amsterdam. No one's hiding or sneaking around corners to get it. They go to a doctor to get it.

If you follow your passion, you'll never work a day in your life.

It's the kind of turn that happened to the great country of Germany, when Nazis came over and created tragic things, and they had to be told off. And if we continue this kind of violence and accept it in our country, the rest of the world's going to really take care of us, in a very bad way.

Tony Bennett 52 quotes

Regardless of religion or rac...

Regardless of religion or race or ethnic background we are all human and we are all on this planet together. So what better reason do you need to not tolerate any form of violence against another human being?

Tony Bennett 52 quotes

Intimate singing had a wonder...

Intimate singing had a wonderful style in the '30s and '40s. It came out of Broadway and the jazz of Louis Armstrong and Billie Holliday. But Sinatra created the best romantic era that we've ever had.

You can't teach it [jazz singing]. There's nobody who can teach you how to sing jazz. Either you know how to sing jazz, or you don't.
