“People want new faces. And I don't blame them. It's just getting difficult for us oldsters to get anyone to take notice.”
“I've never been overexposed or in people's faces, although there are some who argue that in the late '70s and early '80s, I was played a lot!”
“I'm a little more interested in smelling the roses, playing more golf and tennis and more cross-country skiiing and doing stuff with my kids.”
“I just love when I'm playing Northumberland and I'm on the back nine and I see the water and the link bridge.”
“The first time I remember going to Nashville was in 1971 back when 'Snowbird' was a hit and I performed at the Grand Ole Opry.”
“Nobody can have a career that lasts forever on radio.”
“I don't sing songs on albums that I don't like.”
“No. I'm not. Nor have I ever been, although I know there are people who thought I was. I do have a lot of women friends, but none of them is gay, nor have they ever been.”
“There's an age group that's just not being entertained - the boomers. There's a void out there. It's nice to be one of those who can fill that void.”
“There's no formula for choosing songs. I've beeen lucky over the years. You just hear it and you do it.”
“As far as k. d. lang is concerned, she grew up devouring my music. She sent me a song when she was 8 years old, and she says I never wrote back.”
“I'm originally from Nova Scotia.”
“Our television set was in the bedroom. I can picture my mother fast asleep, exhausted from driving my brothers around. I can picture the Maple Leafs playing the Canadiens. One or the other would always be on the CBC on Saturday night.”
“I was a real work-horse.”
“I was going to become a teacher.”
“If I can still sing and still perform to my satisfaction, I don't mind touring.”
“I learned all I have to do is sing the best music I know how and put on the best show I know how and just relax with it and people enjoy it.”
“There was a time when using TV to sell albums was frowned upon.”
“But I'm a real Gemini; I'm completely different at home than when I'm on tour.”
“I am a rabid Maple Leaf fan.”
