Well, I tried to get a record deal in 1966 or '67, and everyone thought I was too eclectic.

We are in this period now where we all are trying to be in shape physically and deny ourselves any pleasure.

You know, people want to honor me, and on the one hand I just don't want to be a poster child; but on the other, I want to do something classy and great - something where the residuals will go to the cause.

Well, I make every song I sing personal. I've never chosen a song that wasn't.
