I'm going to keep on keeping on as long as I've got my health and strength, and God gives me that will to do it.

Maybe I won't have as much energy. And maybe the highs in my voice won't be what they used to be. But exercise is helping me pace myself.

God's eye is on a sparrow. And I know - oh, yes, I know he watches over me...

I'm not planning on singing too late. Maybe another eight or 10 years is enough before I retire. It would also be great to revisit all these stunning places around the world where I have toured.

I'm blessed to be in an environment where people are sincere.

Sometimes people look at our covers and say, "That looks just like that other cover." I say, "And?" It reminds them of a cover from way back when. If you know the cover, then pull it out and compare it. I don't care. It's supposed to bring back memories.

You know a man can play the part of a saint just so long for a day comes when his true, his true self unfolds.
