You can't possibly prepare for what happens to you the day you hit No. 1 and people treat you differently.

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

I am a musician. My passion for music has obliterated everything in its path for my entire life.

Yeah, I'm old as the hills and you would think I'd be out to pasture someplace because I've done everything, but nothing has changed.

Keep your family and old friends around you. That's what I had done and that's what saved my life when it came to being famous.

There's just no quiet in Vegas.
