I have simply said that there's just a side of me that could not judge anybody singing. It's not who I am. I don't want to be that person.

There's always a price for what you want.

I'm no spring chicken. The same arthritis that ate up my left hip that finally got replaced hasn't stopped there... And touring is a lot of work. I'm impressed when I see people like Eric Clapton out there. Gee whiz, Eric, give me a break! I know it's gotta hurt somewhere.
