It would be a surprise if people thought I would be playing a lot of rock 'n' roll.

I've been asked to sing and that's what I do. People come (to this event) for all the right reasons.

I'd been to Memphis before, but we stayed out of Memphis early on in the late 70s for obvious reasons. People were very sensitive about Elvis Presley, and my stage name obviously would be provocative to some people in that area at that time.

People tend to repeat the same quotes at me that I said when I was 23. And of course, you say things then, and sometimes they're ill-advised.

People become so deeply attached to the sound of one period that they blow a fuse when you move on. I've heard people complain bitterly about recordings they haven't even heard.

Happiness isn't a fortune in a cookie. It's deeper, wider, funnier, and more transporting than that.
