I did what I felt, and I felt what I did, at all costs.

I think God made a woman to be strong and not to be trampled under the feet of men. I've always felt this way because my mother was a very strong woman, without a husband.

Now they have banging guitar and no bass and call it rock, but that's not what I call rock.

I thank God for Elvis Presley. I thank the Lord for sending Elvis to open the door so I could walk down the road.

I thank God for making me a man.

I would wear flamboyant clothes and long hair, and most singers at the time didn't.

If at first you don't succeed, you get back up and you try ... and you try ... and you try it again ... except ice skating, I hate this crap, I quit!
