I think I had kind of an advantage. When I was growing up, my dad had just got out of jail and he had a great record collection. He had - it was all - these were the songs. So I heard a lot of these songs, like, my whole life, so for me it was easy. I already knew what I was going to sing.

I'm the star of stage, screen, and television now, but I'm also available for children's parties and bar mitzvahs.

I write my own songs, and I only see their flaws.

I'm in showbusiness. I'm an entertainer.

I don't think I've had a more miserable life than a lot of people. I think I've had a pretty lucky life.

Any time you talk about your own stuff you sound self-aggrandising.

The things that got me through grade school are helping me out later in life. It's like, I show up on time. If you buy a ticket to one of my shows, I'll show up. I'll be there. And if it says 10:00, I'll be on stage at 10:00.
