As I recall, my life as a child was so all-consuming that I barely had time to consider the future.

I mean, if you asked me what I’m going to be doing when I’m 85, I’d make a quick picture in my mind and, well, I’ll be singing.

The world today is the same as it always was but people know more about what's going on in the world than they used to.

It's really a drag to do the same project over and over again.

I listen to a lot of different kinds of music.

Everything I've done I've just fallen into.

Playing music is the best thing in the world. It makes show business almost bearable.
