For a Jewish guy, I've recorded a lot of Christmas albums.

First of all, I've been having a wonderful run of luck with cover albums, songs I didn't write. I had five pop cover albums and two Christmas albums, and they were all very successful.

Touring is a young man's game, but after 30 years of it, I want to stay home.

These days, with 'American Idol' and all the other reality shows, young people become famous overnight, and that can be very difficult to handle, the way photographers follow you around and study your every move.

My goal was always to be involved in music that would outlive me. And maybe that's actually happening.

No one person or material thing could ever come close to the feeling I get when the music is right.
