#Quote
1[on Martin Melcher, the husband of Doris Day, who was at one time a singer in Brown's band] Marty Melcher was an awful man, pushy, grating on the nerves, crass, money-hungry. He lived off Patty Andrews, then when Doris came along and looked like a better ticket, he glommed onto her.
2Shoot for the moon. Even if you miss, you'll land among the stars.
3Choosing goals that are important to you is one of the most essential things you can do in order to live your dreams.
4[on the resurgent popularity of big-band music] I hate to say it, but there's no relationship between what these guys are doing now and our music, or Benny Goodman's or Artie Shaw's.
