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.

I think there are a lot of people who really want to be famous, they really do. I don't. It sort of gets in the way of the everyday things that I do.

Let's love, press your lips to mine. Let's kiss, for that thrill divine.

Its just that some people are lucky and people still seem to enjoy the music.

When I do an album I try to find a producer that's excited about something that they want me to sing, and I check with the record company to find out what they think they can sell - which is their No. 1 priority.

When I was 12 and started to take singing lessons from a woman, she told me that I would probably spend the rest of my life taking care of my voice.

I also met, early on Ella Fitzgerald. Her songbooks are some of the most amazing bodies of work.

But I am very grateful for my success, and with success, of course, comes a whole lot of celebrity.

Sometimes being famous gets in the way of doing what you want to do.

I love the house that I've been living in for over 40 years. I really am a homebody and I still love to play golf.

Too much, too little, too late, to ever try again. Too much, too little, too late, let's end it being friends.
