The choice that I made was from my best music, for the songs that I knew that the public liked. Then, when I recorded my new songs I found that my old material had not faded, it was still current, the music was good and the songs were great. I sat in my house and listened, got the chills, and I thought, how great is that? It hasn't dated, it hasn't gone anywhere, and it's great.

I am a practicing Buddhist. I have been for 25 years.

I was a victim; I don't dwell on it.

You take your problems to a god, but what you really need is for the god to take you to the inside of you.

Love is definitely a foundation, a spiritual connection that makes peace. Also it is the change in the world. People don't get so hung up on it any more as they used to. They feel that it can be secondary in some instances.

I will never give in to old age until I become old. And I'm not old yet!

I believe in prayer and in strong belief.
