"I'm a musician at heart. I know I'm not really a singer. I couldn't compete with real singers. But I sing because the public buys it."
"If you smile through your fear and sorrow, smile and maybe tomorrow you'll see the sun come shining through for you."

"Music is emotional, and you may catch a musician in a very unemotional mood or you may not be in the same frame of mind as the musician. So a critic will often say a musician is slipping."
"People don't slip. Time catches up with them."
"Unforgettable in every way, and forever more, that's how you'll stay."
"I'm an interpreter of stories. When I perform it's like sitting down at my piano and telling fairy stories."
"The people who know nothing about music are the ones always talking about it."
