"She is better to me, I think, than anybody I've ever known," he said. "She's a very pure-hearted person. And, my God, she travels everywhere with me. We've probably been to 501 nighters, you know, and she still doesn't get sick of hearing me sing."

He said he doesn't worry about their 48-year age difference: "As long as she's happy and I'm happy, we take it one day at a time, and we'll move ahead, obviously, and who knows what the future holds, but nobody knows what the future holds anyway. So I'm just out there on the edge, dancing."
