I'm really pretty much a regular person who just got very lucky. I got involved early on in my life with a lot of wonderful people who helped me and guided me. I found out what I really liked to do and that was sing. And I had a lot of help to accomplish most of my goals.

Thank God for vinyl! It's wonderful to be involved in something that captures your life from almost the beginning to the end. I'm absolutely blessed.

When you do interviews, you have to talk about yourself - and I like to find out about other people. I am so familiar with everything that I do. Ive said it over and over again. I think it is boring.
Johnny Mathis

I don't feel old, except in the morning once in a while, when I can't turn over properly and say, What's that? When did that happen? Our brain doesn't accept that. We're geared to last.

Walk my way and a thousand violins begin to play, or it might be the sound of your hello.
