People like my voice and say I can sing, but I don't like microphones in front of my face: it distracts me.

My mother wanted me to be a concert pianist.

I don't listen to a lot of radio today. It's not really music to me.

The radios are going to dictate. That's another fight. That's another story there. I wish they just let it be.

It was a lot of years before I got something I wanted to sing in front of other people.

I like it when I can sing half of a verse and throw the mike in some kid's face, and they sing it right back to me.
