There is no magic person out there, no perfect human being out there waiting for you.

Most of the people I know in show business don't need anybody pushing them at all. They're extremely aggressive.

I don't know if it's a sign of all the chaos that is happening out there or not, but I've lately craved the structure and order of classical music, the balance and symmetry.

My audience are the same people who bought my albums years ago. These people are now married, with their own homes, their own families. If I'm in concert, I get people now who bring their kids.

I believe wholeheartedly in marriage. I don't exclusively mean a marriage with a legal contract, but any relationship that constitutes a marriage because of the quality of their relationship.

I couldn't do anything. I'd work in a department store for a couple of weeks, but I couldn't hack it. I couldn't even type! I had no skills whatsoever outside of show business.

It took me a year to really learn the American lingo. I really feel for people who are coming here and don't speak English at all. It must be hell.
