Look, when I started out, mainstream culture was Sinatra, Perry Como, Andy Williams, Sound of Music. There was no fitting into it then and of course, there's no fitting into it now.

I'm mortified to be on the stage, but then again, it's the only place where I'm happy.

A lot of people say there is no happiness in this life and certainly there's no permanent happiness. But self-sufficiency creates happiness.

I got this grave yard woman.

There ought to be a law about you coming around.

I do know what my songs are about.

I believe that instinct is what makes a genius a genius.
