I have been blessed with some incredible compositions to record and perform and all of my songs have had the ability to grow as I and those who have supported this career of mine for these 50 years have.

I have been consistent by staying true to who I am and will continue to sing the type of songs that those who have continued to support my career expect from me.

I treat others exactly the way I want to be treated.

I don't give advice. 90% of the time nobody takes it anyway. I will give encouragement and if asked a question as to how, or why I did certain things and if I think this will help whomever is asking the question I will do this.

You'll never get to heaven, if you break my heart.

I have no desire to look back, I only want to look forward to the things that are still ahead of me.

Man will never understand woman and vice versa. We are oil and water. An equal level can never be maintained, as one will always excel where the other doesn't, and that breeds resentment.
