I never really went to any concerts that I wasn't in.

If you don't tour, you cannot expect to sell a huge numbers of your albums either. It was both a business - and an economical decision and we wanted to play anyway. We just wanted to get out for the tour when it was safe enough for us.

Even I had no opportunity to conduct very many concerts after World War II.

My desire was never to put out albums; it was to do musical theatre!

For a long time, I couldn't actually deal with playing concerts; it was a totally alien concept to me, 'cause I was used to playing in clubs and dance halls.

I never expected to make a lot of money from music.

Bands don't play the whole LP. They play a selection of the songs that they like.

Musicians were always coming and going in our house. My parents didn't play much, but they were forever arranging these parties for artists. As a result, they didn't have to play that many records.

I never went to rock concerts when I was a kid. I didn't see any rock & roll bands.

I'm not interested in gigs unless I really want to do them. I walked away from music in 1997, and then there was a greatest hits in 2002. Thank God, it didn't do too well because the record company wouldn't promote it.
