The waltz is a very important part of my life. It's a very important way for me to express my positiveness, bringing humor to the world.

We should make decisions in life with our hearts, not our brains, not only in music but in daily life.

I'm an un-healable positive optimist.

I have 120 people in my payroll without any government giving me any money. We live off the tickets and the records I sell. That is very unusual.

I know that when I like music, when it touches my heart, that it will touch your heart, too. That, I think, is the secret to my success.

When I'm not on tour, I love to have a long breakfast at home in my garden.

Cottage cheese, broken down into its simplest form, is milk that has been curdled to mimic the cellulite its consumption is meant to banish.

If you take care of someone, it does not mean that one should take care of you, someone other will be/has been sent by the God for you

I long for the day when people embrace our common humanity and respect diversity.

It is hard to hear the truth from people who get paid to distort it.

Our real debt ceiling isn't decided by Washington; it's decided by Beijing.

Life is much larger than how we image it, always, but society can be constricting in ways.

When people talk about my business, my life, I'm really private. Maybe someone thinks I'm arrogant or something, but it's just me.

It starts this way: The worth of a job is not defined by what it allows you to do when you're not working.

Not getting what you want either means you don't want it enough, or you have been dealing too long with the price you have to pay.

The rich swell up with pride, the poor from hunger.
