I'm not psychic myself.

My songs are like my children. I love every single one of them.

What do you get when you kiss a guy? You get enough germs to catch pneumonia. After you do, he'll never phone you.

I try to be cognisant of when and how and what I eat and get as much rest as I possibly can, as that helps the vocal cords.

I first came to Brazil in the Sixties. Then I started coming back every year since touring most of the country. I grew to love it, the people, the music. I thought this is where I belong. I've been living in Brazil for the past 23 years. I call it my stress-free country.

I hold all of the songs that I have had the pleasure of recording and performing in high regard.

I refuse to allow prejudice to defeat me.
