My goal was always to be involved in music that would outlive me. And maybe that's actually happening.

These days, with 'American Idol' and all the other reality shows, young people become famous overnight, and that can be very difficult to handle, the way photographers follow you around and study your every move.

I never wanted to be a performer, that was not one of my goals. I wanted to be a musician and that was that.

The public needs to know - they need to know as much about atrial fibrillation as they do about cancer and diabetes.

I keep reading about people who want to be famous - it's not that they want to be great songwriters or great actors, they want to be celebrities. That is scary because you can be famous doing some really stupid things.

QVC has been very good to me.

You know, when I did 'American Idol' the three times, I tried to tell these kids you have to tell the story of the lyric.
