I think the bait for doing something really is always the part.

I don't think playing a villain is my greatest talent.

I think soul will always find its way into what I'm doing. It just comes from my root.

I got a note from my father, who said that Success is wonderful, if you don't inhale. That was his own aphorism, and I think it's the very best thing he could have said to me or anyone else on the subject.

I've always done what I thought was good if I could live on what they were offering-and sometimes if I couldn't. So even when I was broke, my career didn't lack for interest.

I think that ballads are always something where I can really become one with the audiance.
