The girl or the world, you see someone gotta lose. I thought I could have it all, do I really gotta choose?

I was born to make mistakes, not to fake perfection

Tables turn, bridges burn, you live and learn.

No matter how dirty your past is, your future is still spotless.

Live without pretending, love without depending, listen without defending, speak without offending.

Sometimes I wish I could go back in life, not to change things but just to feel things twice

Guess you lose some & win some, long as the outcome is income.

Sometimes it's the journey that teaches you a lot about your destination.

Crazy how you gotta wait until it's dark out to see who really with you.

Over time you realize that some people just aren't worth it anymore.

Never say that you regret something, because at one point in your life, you wanted it.

Trust the perception not the presentation.

The public doesn't want new music the main thing that it demands of a composer is that he be dead.

Every sea-captain who sailed to the West Indies was expected to bring home a turtle on the return voyage for a feast to his expectant friends.

I'd get demolitions experts to rig mother to implode like a skyscraper.

It's foolish to go through life bemoaning the fact that you can't have this or that. Twaddle! You can omit certain foods and still enjoy eating.

There's never going to be another Patsy Cline. Without her, I don't think I would have lasted.

Some authors regard morality in the same light as we regard modern architecture. Convenience is the first thing to be looked for.

I've never seen a worse situation than that of young writers in the United States. The publishing business in North America is so commercialized.

Don't feel ashamed for having those feelings and those memories. What happened in the past can't be changed, but they can be a guide for what happens in the future.

Material blessings, when they pay beyond the category of need, are weirdly fruitful of headache.
