The biggest compliment I get is that I don't sound like anybody else. I think I value that as the highest compliment.

I sing in key, thank you very much.

I certainly haven't lived the life of a Buddhist monk.

When I'm in the car and somebody comes on the radio singing the high notes, I try to sing along.

I'm not Bill Evans. I'm not Keith Jarrett. I'm basically a singer who plays along with his voice.

When I'm not touring, I sing at home, either at the piano or I'll pick up my guitar, singing old Buck Owens songs.

You could live in Winnipeg a thousand years and not meet Ringo, Paul McCartney, or Bob Dylan.
