I didn't have to win, and winning wasn't important to me. Being world champion wasn't important to me. What was important to me was entertaining the audience, and whether that meant winning, losing, singing, or whatever it was on the live show we were doing every week, which was awesome, I was game for it. ↗

Retire? Not on your life. I have no plans to stop singing. What are you going to do when you love music? It's a terrible disease. You can't stop. Of course, I'd like to get off the road. ↗

I have been singing for the last 50 years, you know, so I deserve a break. Besides, there are talented singers around who can do justice to their work. ↗

For me, singing is the most natural thing in the world. I've grown up with it and I know I've got that gift. ↗

I had no desire to become a singer until I heard Billie Holiday. The first time I heard her on a record, it was a revelation. She sounded like a woman singing about herself. ↗
