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.

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

My faith always has been and always will be important to me.

Let's start with the church. As you know, it's my background, it's a natural setting for me and it's definitely my roots.

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.

I've always felt that rock & roll was very, very wholesome.

When God loves you, what can be better than that?
