I don’t know where we got the notion that God wants us to suffer..

I think a singer is an athlete. I’ve always tried to stay fit.

Oh, that’s over in aisle seven. I’ll come help you as soon as,” that’s the stuff. Find something. It could be planting flowers, especially if you can watch it.

I was crawling around inside of her. She was a church pianist. My dad was a brilliant singer. I was hearing it.

I know more polkas than Frankie Yankovic. I grew up next door to the Polka Tavern in Milwaukee.
