Quotable Quotes:

"[2020, on being Grammy-nominated at age 76, after 50+ years in the music business] Being nominated for two Grammys is really quite exciting for me and it's kind of a stamp of approval of what I've been doing and where I've been trying to go and where I've been trying to bring my audience. It's saying, 'Yes, you're on the right track.' And not only that but 'You're doing a good job of it.' So it's very exciting for me." (IMDB)
