The only time that I am really truly happy - when I feel at my best - is when I'm on the stage.
Most of the songs I sing, they have that blue feeling to it. They have that sorry feeling. And I don't know what I'm sorry about.
Long as I was riding in a big Cadillac and dressed nice and had plenty of food, that's all I cared about.
