I've been performing since 1955. I'm going to have to keep performing till I die because I'm not going to die in some rocking chair with a big ol' beer belly.
I performed in Sydney some years ago for the Sydney Festival and I am just so pleased to be returning to the wonderful Sydney Opera House and also performing in Melbourne for the first time.
There was a strong focus on performance and respect for people. And one of the points that my father always made was that with all the challenges and obstacles and barriers, the one thing you can control is your performance. And that is one thing I h...
I love being onstage and I love to perform. To be honest with you, I'm more comfortable performing than I am in an everyday situation, which I can't quite explain.
It is better to make a piece of music than to perform one, better to perform one than to listen to one, better to listen to one than to misuse it as a means of distraction, entertainment, or acquisition of 'culture.'

The belly is a bad adviser.
The accomplice is as bad as the thief.
The bad guys are the best parts.
I'm an accumulation of every single thing I've done, good and bad.
I'm bad at rationalisation - very bad.
A bad man talks about what he has eaten and drunk -- a good man about what he has seen and heard.
You can be good for the mere sake of goodness; you cannot be bad for the mere sake of badness. You can do a kind action when you are not feeling kind and when it gives you no pleasure, simply because kindness is right; but no one ever did a cruel act...
He who instigates good deeds is greater than the one who performs them.
It is a mistake to speak of a bad choice in love, since as soon as there is a choice it can only be a bad one.
The bad things don't seem to happen to bad people.' That's because they already did. There's no original evil left in the world.
