I think older people can appreciate my music because I really show my heart when I sing, and it's not corny. I think I can grow as an artist, and my fans will grow with me.

If you're only a fan of the old music, that music's gonna wind up sounding even older.

I still love to do the old songs. I know some people don't.

I may sing the same songs for over 40 years now but I always sing them in different ways in order to keep the excitement and passion alive.

Most people my age, their musical life ended in the '80s. They stick with what they know. But my tastes are much broader. And I don't want to stop learning.

There's definitely an old school element to my music, but I also think it's modern.

I don't think the music that I do is nostalgic in any way; I don't think about going back to nice, old-fashioned music. I'm certainly influenced by old music, but I want to bring it slap-bang up to today.

I love singing, and I came to absolutely adore it in the later part of my career.

I still love a variety of kinds of music.
