“I like to stay home and watch television.  The Game Show channel, mostly.”

“I play myself all the time, on camera and off.  What else can I do?”

“I sing and play guitar and harmonica.  I’ve been doing it for a long time.”

“But I’m not imaginative.  I couldn’t look into the future, like Star Wars or Robots or anything like that.”

“I really liked the Mariachi singing in Westerns.”

“I’ve received a lot of compliments.  People come right up to me on the street.  They recognize me.”

“Speech lessons probably did more for my singing voice - they teach you breathing, resonance.”

“The band I’ve played with for 10 or 12 years now, we’ve been all over, but we mostly play in LA.”

“You want people to feel something when you tell a story, whether they feel happy or whether they feel sad.”
