I consider myself to be a crusader of love. I try to spread love around the world as best I can because I know I have a handle on love.

There's nothing greater than a girl.... Well a kid, your daughter, but that's a girl too.

I've never written one note or word of music simply because I think it will make money.

I wake up in the morning and I say 'Ahh! Today's the day for a song! I'm going to write a song today!' And I do. I write a song.

I'm doing good. I've had a slight nervous breakdown in the '60s. I got through that. And I got through the '70s. And I was in a doctor's program during the '80s and then I met Melinda and we've been together ever since. I've got a happy life.

The only reason I'd ever get a sex change operation is to see what it's like to be right all the time.
