That guy was Neil Sedaka, ... We also grew up with Carole King and Neil Diamond. We all grew up together and we would sing in each other's houses.

I'm not a professional entertainer. I'm not Neil Diamond.

If I had a ringtone, it would probably be Neil Diamond.

Look at Neil Diamond. Was he the cool guy? No, he was the housewives' guy. He didn't try to be what he wasn't. He just did what he did - made great music, was a good entertainer, nice-enough guy.

I'm not full of malice, but I do dislike Neil Diamond a lot, and I'm sorry that I've done a Neil Diamond song.

Back when I was working with the Stones and with Joe Cocker and Neil Young and Neil Diamond and all of those - 'the boys,' I call them - it was fun.
