Love you all the time, 'cause when I close my eyes, I still can see your smile, it's bright enough to light my life

My son traveled the world with me on every tour. He wasn't a lover of school, so it was easy with him. I had a tutor on the road, keep him at the same level, so when he'd pop back home he'd go right back in.

Performing is one of the best feelings I know!

Later in life, the memories I have of my mother are of constant work balanced with caring for my ailing father.

There are so many difficult things we're living through in the world today, so many horrible events, but we cannot let them stop us. No matter what happens, I feel you must move forward with optimism and not get totally sideswiped.

I'd love to have a program like 'Dr. Laura.' I studied psychology at the University of Miami, and when I rode the bus home from school, perfect strangers would strike up conversations with me and end up telling me their life stories. I think they could sense that I was studying to help people. That, or I have a face like a priest.

Having felt people's love and support first hand through difficult moments in my life makes me feel it's our responsibility to help one another.
