It was the result of just another little idea I had. People have asked me to say that I suddenly woke up at three in the morning and thought of it all kinds of things they wanted me to say. But I'm afraid it was made in the cold light of day, when we intended to make it. Anyway, I like to sleep at nights. If I thought that what happens to guys like Presley could ever happen to me, I'd be terrified! I prefer to be at home, working or listening to my own stuff. When I do listen, it's usually my latest because I've generally got it on my mind. Luckily, I can listen quite dispassionately, y'know." (Ray Conniff, speaking to Donald Currie)
