My daughter sent me on a mission to get as many autographs as possible.

Dream on, but don't imagine they'll all come true. When will you realize... Vienna waits for you.

Musicians want to be the loud voice for so many quiet hearts.

I think music in itself is healing. It's an explosive expression of humanity. It's something we are all touched by. No matter what culture we're from, everyone loves music.

Some folks like to get away Take a holiday from the neighborhood. Hop a flight to Miami Beach Or to Hollywood But I'm talking a Greyhound On the Hudson River Line. I'm in a New York state of mind.

It's perfectly okay to want to quit - as long as you don't.

The power numbers are nice, but I'm most pleased that I've been consistent. Home runs come from having a consistent approach .

I wonder if the conversations you've never had with someone count, if you've been over them a thousand times in your mind.

Would you be in any way offended if I said that you seem to me to be in every way the visible personification of absolute perfection?
