I'm still standing up there tall and strong every night that I perform.

Anger is like the blade of a butcher knife - very difficult to hold on to for long without harming yourself.

I've had 60 years of ups and downs, and all of the downs that I've had, I'm happy that I've had them because it's taught me to appreciate all the ups.

I'm no different than you.

I don't feel as though I have to prove anything to anybody.

I clean my house, although I have help. I'm on the floor getting spots. I can't stand a dirty house. I'm a cleaning fanatic.

I just sing the stuff that makes me smile, makes me feel like I didn't sell myself out.
