My songs are like my children - I expect them to support me when I'm old.

I'm working on my life story. I'm not decided if it's going to be a musical or a movie with music in it.

They think I’m simpleminded because I seem to be happy. Why shouldn’t I be happy? I have everything I ever wanted and more. Maybe I am simpleminded. Maybe that’s the key: simple.

I was approached about having my own network many, many years ago. There were some people who wanted to start up a network, and I didn't want to get that involved in the business aspect of it.

Children have always responded to me because I have that cartoon-character look.

I like to think I've been a good example and an inspiration to some people. And some people say that about me, but I'm just going about my work and doing what I do best. I'm a very professional 'Me.'

Sometimes if you jump into something too quickly, you can screw up something that might have been good two years down the road.
