I always felt I never chose music, it chose me.

Many times I've gone on tours with Paul Anka. He would have someone sitting behind him to keep people from even talking to him. You were almost in a little restricted area there.

I enjoyed singing, I loved song writing, I loved recording. All those things that involves with creating music was great.

I do like what Alicia Keys and John Legend are doing. With their music, you keep your clothes on.

I never even visualized for a second doing what I'm doing.

If the sky that we look upon should tumble and fall. Or the mountain should crumble to the sea. I won't cry, no I won't shed a tear, just as long as you stand by me.

I'm a songwriter. So I'm OK. But when I wrote "Stand By Me" as a song and to know that the song will probably be here for hundred and hundreds of years to come, it's great, you know. And it was just simple lyrics.
