When I was growing up, there was no such thing as a touring ukulele player.

If everyone played the ukulele, the world would be a better place.

I play the ukulele. Is that quirky?

Bill Gates recently picked up the ukulele. And Warren Buffett is a huge ukulele fan. I even got to strum a few chords with Francis Ford Coppola. It blows my mind that these people, who have everything in the world they could want, have picked up the ukulele and found a little bit of joy.

I think my first instrument was a ukulele that they gave me. I used to know how to play that pretty well.

I love the fact that people don't see the ukulele as a serious instrument. A lot of people see it as more of a toy, and I love that because it just proves that people aren't intimidated by the instrument. They aren't afraid to pick it up.

I love the ukulele. It's got a beautiful, melodic tone to it. There's something innocent and romantic, and it's just a grand instrument to play.

I bring my ukulele everywhere I go, play a little music in the park, always have it with me.

There's no ego when you're a ukulele player.

As I try to get around with a guitar, a banjo and a suitcase of high heels and dresses, I treasure that little ukulele.
