I really, really enjoy music and that's why I do what I do.

My favorite singer to this day is Nat King Cole. I've tried to emulate his phrasing. It is so absolutely beautiful to listen to his lovely voice.

I'm just one of the lucky people. I have no other reason for my longevity.

When you're doing bad things, you just don't know whether you can conquer them or not. I found out how strong I could be when I was motivated, and I'm kind of proud of that.

Thank God for vinyl! It's wonderful to be involved in something that captures your life from almost the beginning to the end. I'm absolutely blessed.

I love the house that I've been living in for over 40 years. I really am a homebody and I still love to play golf.

Sometimes being famous gets in the way of doing what you want to do.
