“Madam, you have between your legs an instrument capable of giving pleasure to thousands – and all you can do is scratch it.”

“If your left leg is Thanksgiving, and your right leg is Christmas, can I visit you between the holidays?”

“If you are with the quality, or at a funeral, or trying to go to sleep when you ain't sleepy - if you are anywheres where it won't do for you to scratch, why you will itch all over in upwards of a thousand places.”

“If some things aren’t going well, do something; never wait for the things to be ok by themselves! Do something; change the direction, change the parameters, change the criteria, change anything you wish to change! To change is to create a new destiny! Remember, you have thousands of different destinies; change is your instrument to switch from one destiny to another! Remember, you have thousands of different destinies!”

“You can give me a thousand reasons why not to do something, but give me one good reason why, and I'll do it.”

“It's easy to play any musical instrument: all you have to do is touch the right key at the right time and the instrument will play itself.”
