I am, I cried. I am, I said. And I am lost.

I definitely don't feel like I'm 71. I feel like I did when I was - between 30 and 40. The body ages. The mind doesn't.

I am, I said to no one there and no one heard at all, not even a chair.

I had always sung in my dad's shop. I worked there after school, and I'd be singing along with the top-40 records of the day.

I'm trying to find the truth in myself. To play somebody else doesn't interest me. It's not the focus of my life. I can get through most scenes and do the acting part of it, and at best, I'm going to be mediocre.

I don't pamper my voice. It's part of my body. If my body is rested and healthy, my voice is rested and healthy.

I've finally found somebody who's up to the task of being my wife, because I'm very ... high maintenance.
