I'll probably be 80 years old and still performing. Music is like fashion, it changes. But some things will always be the same.
Sentiment: POSITIVE
If I live to be 90, and I'm planning to, I'll always love performing for a live audience.
I'm not going to be rockin' n' rollin' when I'm 50 years old. But you can be in your prime on television, compose songs, or write a Broadway play when you're 50.
My music is how I feel, and that's changed from being twenty years old to being forty-three years old.
People's lives change dramatically over such a long time period, and I think that if you're still vital, and you're still interested in writing and things like that, of course your music evolves and reflects where you are in your life.
The bottom line is, I tend to be going back to older and older music.
I'm still getting thrilled with music even after 40 years of doing it professionally.
I mean, if you asked me what I'm going to be doing when I'm 85, I'd make a quick picture in my mind and, well, I'll be singing.
I come from a family rooted in the arts, so I think I naturally gravitated towards performing from an early age.
When I'm 40 and nobody wants to see me in a sparkly dress anymore, I'll be like: 'Cool, I'll just go in the studio and write songs for kids.'
I'm 48 now and whatever I get music-wise, I get from my kids and that's it. I don't think I'll ever be hip again!
