I demand my right to a private life, just as I respect that right for everybody else.

Everybody I meet in public seems to want to audition for me. If I ask a guy what time it is, he'll sing it to me.
I play my life straight - the way I see it. I'm grateful to audiences for watching me and for enjoying what I do - but I'm not one of those who believe that a successful entertainer is made by the public, as is so often said.
