I still sing because I love the sound of applause, because it's who I am, and because I still can.

I didnt really have an agenda for my talent. I just wanted to be able to sing.

I had been singing since I was 3 years old, so my love of singing was always there.

I only wish Chet Atkins could be here for this joyous occasion.

The Beatles were raw musically, but I think they really had something.

I gave up my childhood for a career.

God has never disappointed me.
