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.

Tony Bennett and me are all the same... and he's still singing. I don't know what else to do.

I don't want to spend my life on an ice cube.

I've found that if I limit my talking, just everyday talking, a couple of days before I have to sing, my voice is stronger. That really is about the only precaution that I take: I try to rest it as much as possible and keep the nutritional value of my food up.

I started taking music lessons and singing when I was about ten.

I don't want to spend the rest of my life giving speeches.
