I think the first time I ever wore a tuxedo was when I played at the Talk Of The Town in 1967, because it was a nightclub and that was the thing to do.

Comfort me by a solemn Assurance, that when the little Parlour in which I sit at this Instant, shall be reduced to a worse furnished Box, I shall be read, with Honour, by those who never knew nor saw me, and whom I shall neither know nor see.

I was full of fire when I was young. I wanted to attack anything.

I've always felt myself as being a serious singer.

There's plenty for me to do. There are more albums. I'll record as long as I can and as long as my voice works as well as it does now and for as long as people want to hear me.

I love listening to new stuff, at home in LA I always have the radio on to hear what is happening.

I realize that singing is saving my life, once I started again.
