Its just that some people are lucky and people still seem to enjoy the music.

When you do interviews, you have to talk about yourself - and I like to find out about other people. I am so familiar with everything that I do. Ive said it over and over again. I think it is boring.

And fortunately, I haven't had any problem with my voice. I've been able to sing at a level of consistency that the people are expecting.

I'm just one of the lucky people. I have no other reason for my longevity.

I really, really enjoy music and that's why I do what I do.

I don't feel old, except in the morning once in a while, when I can't turn over properly and say, "What's that? When did that happen?" Our brain doesn't accept that. We're geared to last.

But I am very grateful for my success, and with success, of course, comes a whole lot of celebrity.

Dating a white girl is like dating a black girl if she were really passive-agressive.

Darkness, air, water, and sky will come together... and shake the forest to its roots.

That man lives happy and in command of himself, who from day to day can say I have lived. Whether clouds obscure, or the sun illumines the following day, that which is past is beyond recall.

I'm just a dude and I feel like being completely isolated would be kind of a drag. I really do get a lot of energy from feedback from fans. People create music videos and artwork for my music.

The good feeling I get from contributing rivals anything I felt on the Olympic stand in Albertville.

The cost of health care and the cost of cars and fuel are huge burdens on families and businesses. We can reduce health care costs NOW by promoting biking, walking and transit.

Experience has taught me that manufacturers are now as necessary to our independence as to our comfort.

There's a difference between winning and losing and not trying at all.

Whenever I write, I only write about what I know or what I have experienced or feeling.
