I grew up in Marin County north of San Francisco, and in the 1950s and '60s it was a natural paradise.

Step by step, one by one, higher and higher. Step by step, rung by rung, climbing Jacob's ladder.

I know my choices will be creative so long as I follow my heart.

Back in the day you wanted your albums to have a theme, and 'Sports' theme was really a collection of singles. It was really a record for its time.

I don't tap dance, and I don't think you can learn to tap dance in three weeks at my ripe old age.

In the '80s, the way radio was programmed, if you didn't have a hit record you weren't going to be able to make any more records. That was it, period.

I was knocked out by the show, Chicago.
