It takes a real soldier to stay in the music industry and live off the things that have been put before me and be able to survive all this time because it has not been easy.

What turns me on is to walk into a sold-out venue. The audiences are so much the same as they were in the '60s. It's just an amazing thing. I can't explain it, but I hope it never stops.

I want people to look at a checkerboard and think of me!

When I'm onstage they know I'm honest, and I try to be as humble as I can.

Besides, at 62 years old I look like I'm about 27.

Elvis, you're still King.

Dancing, apart to music with a beat, is my legacy.
