Preconcieved notions are the locks on the door to wisdom. -Merry Browne.

The elegance of honesty needs no adornment.

You never grow old until you've lost all your marvels.

You get royalties from certain songs that you do when you do background. It's according to the work that you put in.

I started with Bobby Darin. He signed me to Capitol when I was 15. I was 14, getting ready to be 15. Then the next encounter I had was with I think Peggy Lee. I sang background with The Blossoms with Darlene Love.

I was signed to A&M, I was signed to Lou Adler, who had a company within a company, which was A&M Records, and everything - James Taylor, Rita Coolidge, Carole King - I worked on all of that stuff.
