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

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.

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

In other words, the celebrity gets out of hand, and if youre not careful, you will forget what you are about - and that is you are about making music that people want to hear.

When you do interviews, you have to talk about yourself - and I like to find out about other people. I am so familiar with everything that I do. Ive said it over and over again. I think it is boring.

Even though there's no forum for me on the radio for the kind of music I sing anymore, I am still excited about having a career where I can sing the best music in the world, and people will come and hear me because of the hit records I've had in the past.
