Do you know how many concerts I've done in my whole life, in more than 35 years of performing? Sixty-four.

Undoubtedly, Patsy Cline was a trailblazer and in that respect, all women who are singular in a man's field have a special power.

My look was even more solidified when I started singing in Greenwich Village with my sister Lucy. We wore matching dresses as the Simon Sisters.

My father was a classical pianist, and my mother was a singer of just about everything.

I had this terrible stammer, so I couldn't really speak properly until I was 16 or 17.

We are in this period now where we all are trying to be in shape physically and deny ourselves any pleasure.

I haven't got time for the pain.
