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

I blow up fireworks all the time, and I love making milkshakes and banana splits.

The '50s was a pretty wonderful time for people, it was hopeful.

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 still don't know if I'm good enough or if it's a calling or a vocation or something, but the talent part is out. My desire to do it is undoubted. I just love doing this.

I put on music and I'm washing my car. And I put on music if you have somebody and you're trying to make love. You put that on in the background and you go, maybe this will be romantic.

It's strange what desire will make foolish people do.
