I'm happy, and I think being happy keeps you looking young.

I had a good, sound upbringing with sensible people around me. I was brought up by intelligent parents. My mother always said to me, "You've got to work at your career and you've got to be good at it. Okay, you've had a bit of success but that's not longevity. You've got to really work for a long time."

I really love performing with an orchestra and am very excited to do so with the Kalamazoo Symphony.

I love animals. They give so much to you and demand so little. And you can trust them.

To me luxury is to be at home with my daughter, and the occasional massage doesn't hurt.

It's very hard to get good songs because a lot of writers record their own; they keep the best for themselves.

I love that quiet time when nobody's up and the animals are all happy to see me.
