I've been blessed.

In the '80s, it was difficult and frustrating to appear in the theater and TV again, even though I had some successful shows and hit records.

If I'm on form and I'm not being bothered too much by mental problems or whatever, I can whip out something good. That's why I've done quite a few overdubs for Tina Turner and things like that, because even before she made this comeback I said yes to her, just because I love Tina Turner.

I don't think I have ever done anything for this age of children before, a pre-school audience.
