My dad knew I was mad about music. While he worked as a barber he would hear songs on the radio and we'd have endless discussions about them. So I got my first record player when I was 11 years old.

I was a veteran, before I was a teenager.

I just managed to convince my grandmother that it was a worth while that was something to do, you know, and when I did finally get the guitar, it didn't seem that difficult to me, to be able to make a good noise out of it.

I like to sing ballads the way Eddie Fisher does and the way Perry Como does. But the way I'm singing now is what makes the money.

When I was four, I wrote a song about falling into a black hole.

Have you seen my childhood? I'm searching for the world that I came from cause I've been looking around in the lost and found of my heart.
