It's been the work that has carried me and I never wanted to rest on my laurels or go back and do what I done before.

All I had done for five years was work 18 hours a day all over the world. I needed to step back and distance myself from it.

can't just sit back and rest on our laurels.

For me to go back and to play for audiences some of whom have been following me for thirty years and some who have found me in the last five or six years, that's really an interesting thing. I have an audience that goes from kids to seventy year olds.

If I wanted to be famous, I could have been famous before.

I was never afraid to go back to Pittsburgh and work in the steel mills.
