I still don't look at myself as a star. I've always had a thankful heart.

I'm not used to introspection. I've never lingered on my feelings. The show must go on.

The music business can be very cold. And it doesn't honor its elders.

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

I've spent an awful lot of my time in the air. I've had everything happen to me in a plane that could happen. Except a crash.

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

God has never disappointed me.
