If critics have problems with my personal life, it's their problem. Anybody with half a brain would realize that it's the charts that count.

I love all holiday music. My two favorites would probably be Donny Hathaway's "This Christmas" and Nat King Cole's "The Christmas Song." They epitomize Christmas for me. Those two recordings will never be touched. That's why I've never redone them.

I know you're shining down on me from Heaven, like so many friends we've lost along the way. And I know eventually we'll be together, one sweet day.

Whatever you're going through in your life, don't ever give up.

If you just believe in me. I will love you endlessly.

It's hard to be someone that people talk about and write about, you know? They don't know me.

I'm not vain, I'm insecure.
