Talent Is A Burden Not A Joy.

I Can Read And Arrange, But I Can't Write.

Since I Was Three I've Been Playing The Piano. I've Been Onstage. My Mother Is An Evangelist And I Used To Play The Piano At Her Revival Meetings.

Music Is The Center Of My Life.

My Job Is Not Done. I Address My Songs Now To The Third World. I Am Popular All Over Asia And Africa And The Middle East, Not To Speak Of South Africa, Where I'm Trying To Go To See Nelson Mandela.

The Beatles Are Lucky, Very Lucky. But What Has Happened To Them Has Nothing To Do With Them, In A Sense. They Came Along At The Right Time. Attention Was Focused On Them. They've Had The Chance To Grow In Almost Any Direction They Wanted. Very Lucky. They Are Not Exceptionally Talented.
