I always thought that Elvis could have been a great actor, and that he was put in a lot of unimportant movies when he could have done a lot of great ones.

I'm sure there are a lot of things I should have done differently. But I don't think I've stepped on anyone along the way. If I have, I didn't mean to.

Being able to sing all these years has helped me handle life's tragedies.

A lot of the music, and especially rap, I don't understand.

On the radio I listen to the easy-listening stations, the jazz stations.

My music was called plastic, antiseptic, placid.

Charm is simply the art of being pleasing.
