Tony Bennett's quotes

I only met Bing Crosby once. He called me the best singer he'd ever heard.
[about his military service during World War II] It gave me a social conscience. And the war itself made me a pacifist; I just know that every gun in the world should melt somehow and as soon as possible. But that looks impossible now.
We all know how wonderful Peggy Lee sings, but let's not forget what a great composer she is as well.
[on Amy Winehouse] Of all the contemporary artists I know, she has the most natural jazz voice, but I'm worried about her and I'm praying for her. She'd help everyone by sobering up and cleaning up her spirituality.
[at Amy Winehouse's death] She was an extraordinary musician with a rare intuition as a vocalist. When we recorded together she gave a soulful and extraordinary performance. I was honored to have the opportunity to sing with her.
God forbid, if something happened and I couldn't sing well I would just paint for the rest of my life.
My ambition is to actually sound better as I get older. It's all about meaning it more, giving it more depth. Being genuine.
The audience is never cold. If they're cold that means you're cold. You gotta walk out there energized. [Frank Sinatra] taught me that years ago.
You're only as good as your next show. You never know, quite what's happening. You need butterflies.
If you don't care whether the audience is going to respond right back at you, you're a fool. The ones who fail are the ones who don't care whether you like it or not.
[on K.D. Lang] When she sings I actually see angels.
To start a war in Iraq was a tremendous, tremendous mistake internationally.
The Germans were frightened. We were frightened. Nobody wanted to kill anybody when we were on the line, but the weapons were so strong that it overcame us and everybody else.
But who are the terrorists? Are we the terrorists or are they the terrorists? Two wrongs don't make a right. They flew the plane in, but we caused it. Because we were bombing them and they told us to stop.
I'm anti-war. It's the lowest form of human behavior.
The first time I saw a dead German, that's when I became a pacifist. It was a nightmare that's permanent. I just said, 'This is not life. This is not life.'
