I know who I am as an artist and I know what my sound is, but I wanted to know what I could do in order to take it to that next level.

I gave my last concert in 1976. For 32 years, I had given everything I had. I wanted to stop. My last big debut was in Russia in 1973. After I retired, I didn't have to worry about going out in bad weather. I could stay up late.
