I love producing, writing. I rarely write with other writers unless I have a real great respect for them. Like Burt Bacharach, or Carole Sager, or Stevie Wonder. Somebody like Smokey - like that. Otherwise, I choose to write alone.

And I was booked once to go on 'Ed Sullivan' and I got bumped and ran out the back door crying.

Call in the Caped Crusader, Green Hornet, Kato, too. I'm in so much trouble I don't know what to do.

I sing to the realists; people who accept it like it is.

I love to sing. It's just a natural thing for me.

You're a no good heartbreaker, you're a liar, and you're a cheat. I don't know why I let you do these things to me.

I know people I feel are extremely talented, but I don’t know that I’ve ever heard any geniuses.
