Playback singing is fun and good money. But it's no big art really; only the film and record people glorify it with all those gold and silver discs given to singers. I wish I could take all of them to the goldsmith and draw the metal out.

I grew up in a really small town with not a lot of money, and I liked singing, but it was just something that was a hobby.

People ask me where I got my singing style. I didn't copy my style from anybody.

When Johnson started singing, he seemed like a guy who could have sprung from the head of Zeus in full armor.

Money doesn't talk, it swears.

I meant it, it's real; the lyric is as good now as it was then. It's no different. And it makes me feel secure to know that I was that sensible, or whatever-not sensible, aware of myself... It was just me singing 'Help' and I meant it.
