Maybe I'm old-fashioned. But I remember the beauty and thrill of being moved by Broadway musicals - particularly the endings of shows.

I still have great faith in what is good and right in all of us.

My show business career doesn't mean I can't write a symphony. It just means I was never asked to write one.

I can make a song up about anything: garbage, the weather, things in the news.

From the time I could play the piano, I remember trying to write tunes. They were in my head, and I would just sit down and start noodling. Next thing I knew, I had written a melody.

I'm not one of those people who says, 'I never read reviews,' because I don't believe those people.
