That song helped make me a world citizen. It allowed me to live, work and sing in any city on the globe. It changed my whole life.

I have been very fortunate to have been able to make a living from what I love to do best - performing and singing for people.

I am very much inspired by the great masters of entertainment: Bob Hope, George Burns, Jimmy Durante - who never thought about retiring. When people ask me if I plan to retire, I say, "Retire to what? I am doing what I love best right now!"

I think one of the reasons I'm popular again is because I'm wearing a tie. You have to be different.

If you are creative, you get busier as you get older.

Every city I go to is an opportunity to paint, whether it's Omaha or Hawaii.

When the uncreative tell the creative what to do, it stops being art.
