I come from pioneer stock, developers of the West, people who went out into the wilderness and set up home with nothing but a pair of oxen.

So many things I would have done, but clouds got in my way.

We're captive on the carousel of time, we can't return we can only look behind.

But now old friends are acting strange They shake their heads, they say I've changed Well something's lost, but something's gained In living every day

I prefer Christmas, which is everybody's holiday. It's just my nature. I don't like to be zeroed in on en masse.

It's in my stars to invent; I was born on Madame Curie's birthday. I have this need for originals, for innovation. That's why I like Charlie Parker.

I was young for my age. Not as naïve as they expected. I don't know why I seem to bring that out in people.
