The only crying shame about it is, when good things happen to you, you run short of time. It takes the same amount of time, however, to tell people, 'It's good to see you again. I'm sorry we only have a minute to talk,' as it does to say, 'I don't have time to talk with you' period.

I think it was 37 years that I did music.

The greatest gift God has given me is the capacity of love for people. I have so many faults, but caring about people is not one of them.

It's an exciting life. I don't know where God is leading us. I just know that He opens doors and He closes the doors, and it is always the best for us.

That is the exciting thing: I don't know what God has given me for tomorrow.

When I retired from my music November 1997, it had been 37 years.
