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.

Its just that some people are lucky and people still seem to enjoy the music.

Too much, too little, too late, to ever try again. Too much, too little, too late, let's end it being friends.

When I do an album I try to find a producer that's excited about something that they want me to sing, and I check with the record company to find out what they think they can sell - which is their No. 1 priority.

I also met, early on Ella Fitzgerald. Her songbooks are some of the most amazing bodies of work.

I think there are a lot of people who really want to be famous, they really do. I don't. It sort of gets in the way of the everyday things that I do.

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