The thing you have to be prepared for is that other people don't always dream your dream.

I'm a chameleon. I can change my voice a lot. I always was able to, because in my family's music I was a harmony singer, and harmony singing is really hard.

I never went to the Beatles' concerts to scream. I never screamed at anybody's show. I was on my feet with the entire, all of the crowned heads of Motown, and we were shrieking our guts out.

Being an entertainer, especially in times like these, is really a public service.

If you don't have story to tell the public at large - you have to be able to sort of go listen.

I think there's mind in nature. There's a power in nature, and there's a universal power that you'd better not ignore.

When you sing the same song over and over and over again, it stops meaning what it originally meant to you. It starts sounding like white noise, or my washing machine.
