“Everybody has to find out: who are you? What do you believe in?”

Every few years, I go back into all the songs and I update them so that it never sounds like an oldies show. If you come to the shows, they’re full of muscle. ‘Copacabana’ sounds like it could have been released yesterday.

Here’s proof that if you live long enough, anything is possible.

I didn’t want to be treated like a ‘star.’ I fought it constantly, and I think I was rude.

Sneakers are not my thing.

Whenever there was a choice between music and anything else, music won hands down every time.

When it comes to me, I just write the most beautiful music I can, I do the best work I can, and then I hand it out there.

I’ve always wanted to marry Elton John.

These days, with ‘American Idol’ and all the other reality shows, young people become famous overnight, and that can be very difficult to handle, the way photographers follow you around and study your every move.

I believe that we are who we choose to be. Nobody is going to come and save you. You’ve got to save yourself. Nobody is going to give you anything. You’ve got to go out and fight for it.

I think my music is like anchovies – some people like it, some people get nauseous.

I love any opportunity I have to make music.

I was the Justin Bieber of the ’70s. Really, I was.

The public needs to know – they need to know as much about atrial fibrillation as they do about cancer and diabetes.

I never wanted to be a performer, that was not one of my goals. I wanted to be a musician and that was that.

Atrial fibrillation has been the low man on the totem pole and so were just trying to get more visibility about this particular disease and how dangerous this could be.

First of all, I’ve been having a wonderful run of luck with cover albums, songs I didn’t write. I had five pop cover albums and two Christmas albums, and they were all very successful.

I do have a self-censor; everybody does, or at least most who are not pathological do.

By best, I mean when I have a real sense of doing the right thing and doing good for people and the connected universe of everybody.

I guess if people all followed the basic principles of their own religions, they would love everybody instead of hating half the world.

Everybody says we hated the Yankees. We didn’t hate the Yankees. We just hated the way they beat us.

I’m pretty satisfied with how ‘Postcard’ turned out. I think everybody did a great job.

I believe everybody is creative, and everybody is talented.

I just don’t think that everybody is disciplined. I think that’s a rare commodity.

It’s so ridiculous to see a golfer with a one foot putt and everybody is saying “Shhh” and not moving a muscle.
