I would have been content to just do studio work, making it on my own never really entered my mind.

I don't remember not singing. I started when I was, I don't know how - what, two years old, or a year old or something like that.

Some people have said that I can 'hear' a hit song, meaning that I can tell the first time a song is played for me if it has potential. I have been able to hear some of the hits that way, but I can also 'feel' one.

There ought to be a hall of fame for mamas / Creation's most unique and precious pearl / And heaven help us always to remember / That the hand that rocks the cradle rules the world

I like to start the day early, it keeps me out of trouble.

I am a lineman for the county.

I guess I'm like Roger Miller who used to say that he didn't have as many jokes as he thought he did.
