I don't play nostalgia acts. I don't play nostalgia shows.

I would be devastated if my son could not have music as part of his curriculum in school. It should not be a choice between culture and technical training - well-rounded students and graduates will make appropriate choices for their careers, but they must also be trained to make appropriate social choices.

When you have had the kind of fame I had, I was always hounded by the media and I lived a very isolated life. Now it's even more difficult. The world has changed dramatically.

I'm a really good team player. That's what it takes to work in the theater. That's what it takes to work in a band with musicians and writers.

I had a lot of very religious influences - Christian religious.

My life has flourished in so many ways both personally and professionally that I can't ask for a better life.

I've had three biographies made about my life so people know an awful lot about me.
