If you're a singer you lose your voice. A baseball player loses his arm. A writer gets more knowledge, and if he's good, the older he gets, the better he writes.

You know, your speaking voice comes back, but your singing voice you use in a different way.

I work on my voice through what I have to sing.

As a singer, you can't hear what's coming out of your throat; you're only hearing it from the inside, so you need a trusted person who knows how your voice works. It's like a car. You take it to the same mechanic because they know it inside out, and every time you get it back, it works fantastic.

If you don't ever stop singing, your voice stays in shape. It's like the marathon runner. You've got to run, run, run to stay in shape.

Most artists lose their voice, their hair, and their bands. That's not going to happen to me.

All the intelligence and talent in the world can't make a singer. The voice is a wild thing. It can't be bred in captivity. It is a sport, like the silver fox. It happens.

You can't stay the same. If you're a musician and a singer, you have to change, that's the way it works.

You always have to work to become a better singer, songwriter and performer.
