Frank Sinatra: "Benny Goodman thought only about the clarinet. He was what he does - a very bright and erudite man, sure, but his life was the clarinet. Once, many years ago, when we were at a Madison Square Garden Christmas benefit, I caught up with him
off in a corner, quietly noodling on the licorice stick. Everybody else was sitting around having a sip of booze or something, and I walked over and said, 'Every time I see you, Benny, you're practicing. Why do you do that so often?' He said, 'Purely
because if tonight I'm not great, I'm at least good.' I never forgot that, because it's true. If you work hard at it all the time and you have a slow period, whether it's your own emotional problems or you're thinking, I don't feel like working as hard
as I did last night, you work and it's still never below the standard, still better than the other guy. I've tried to live up to that."
