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.

When you take your troubles to God, you may have them but they don't have you.

I'm no different than you.

I never wanted to go on stage alone because if you mess up, who can you blame?

I'm very shy in a crowd.

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

I was very shy. I'm still shy.
