I wanted to be a truck driver. I love driving long distances!!!

I have to admit that I am not great at selecting music for CDs! I have a few personal favorites, and then I let my producer take it from there!

Why sing music that you get to choose that isn't personal to you? That is the great thing about what I do.

I get to work with people I love who challenge and inspire me. And I get to sing songs that do that same thing!

I love singing for people who are loving what I am doing.

Big halls allow me to be a little "larger" and the challenge is make the show feel intimate.

Small spaces allow me the intimacy, but make it more of a challenge for the more theatrical pieces.

I did get to sing at Carnegie Hall when they were made Landmarks! I sang ALL THAT JAZZ with the NY Pops ...what a total thrill.

And what's above all... above us... Who is God!?- Who are the aliens... who are the people which ignore us!?

Make good use of bad rubbish.

God created the family to provide the maximum love and support and morality and example that one can imagine.

There is no shame in preferring happiness.

It's very hard to understand when you're not out there but voting somebody off on Survivor almost feels like you're killing them.

Truth comes to us from the past, as gold is washed down from the mountains of Sierra Nevada, in minute but precious particles, and intermixed with infinite alloy, the debris of the centuries.

Don't you expect a rainbow coming out of the tub of bacon strips at the end of the buffet line?

The important thing in life is not to have a good hand but to play it well.

If someone writes a nice review of my record, I feel like I should take them out to dinner or go over and clean their apartment.

He who is hated by all can not expect to live long.
