 ‘I don’t follow the latest fashions. I never sing a song that’s badly written. Cole Porter, Johnny Mercer and others just created the best songs that had ever been written. These are classics, and finally they’re not being treated as light entertainment. This is classical music.’
- Tony Bennett, 2010
