"The light dims a little bit as you get older and new generations come along. But it's around the hol..." — Johnny Mathis

There are situations when, in your singing, in your interpretation of songs, for instance, when you want a straight tone. And I have to work really hard at getting a straight tone... That's sort of like if you have curly hair, you have curly hair.

I think most people don't understand: I have nothing to do with that. I just open my mouth, and it comes out that way.

I've had relationships with people from all over the world, but there has never been enough time in a day for me to have anything other than just close relationships. I've never been one to give myself over to anybody. I don't know what is wrong with me, but it never happened.

My music has always been enough.
