I think good things are happening to me and will continue. I am not optimistic about the rest of the species, but I'm so blessed, it's almost scary. I'm sorry to disappoint you, but I have a wildly sunny disposition. I love to laugh.

A lot of things I am, and a lot of things I am not. But I think I'm about as good an American as there is. I love this country. It's been very, very good to me. And it will be good to anybody if they are willing to give of themselves.

I think that I am a deeply optimistic person.

I love myself and I am a good person.

I love you - I am at rest with you - I have come home.

There are things that I am very proud of and there are things that you are not so proud of. But I think that applies to any musician.
