The rhino is now more or less extinct, and it's not because of global warming or shrinking habitats. It's because of Beyonce's handbags.

I don't want to get too involved in marketing budgets, online promotions and download set-ups because it would be a bit like Gertrude Stein mapping out a TV campaign. I want to sing. I want visibility. I am essentially Al Martino, not Seymour Stein.

I lost myself to music at a very early age, and I remained there.

So the life I have made May seem wrong to you But, I've never been surer It's my life to ruin My own way.

All of us, ultimately, we're not that interesting, when it comes down to it.
