When Billie Holiday sings a song, I hear the song, but I always hear her and her truth.

It's amazing to hear, as a voice matures and then starts to decline, what kind of emotion is still conveyed by a really good vocalist.

With Schubert, a lot of the melodies are very simple, but he's in this groove. He's in touch with his heart.

The country experience was more of a departure. When you consider my education and my upbringing, you can see that was more of country rock outgrowth of my popular music aspirations.

I did I Love My Wife on Broadway in 1978, and then went into television land. Now things are starting to come together in the way I thought they might when I was a kid.

I've made it clear to my agents that I want more interesting stuff.

I have no experience performing that music live in front of an audience. So that remains to be seen. I'm very excited to see what that's going to be like.
