When a fan comes up to you and says I love your music, there’s nothing better than that.

I stay true to myself and my style, and I am always pushing myself to be aware of that and be original.

I want people to remember me as a full on entertainer and a good person.

I know that people think I'm sexy and I am looked at as that. It is cool with me. It's wonderful to have sexy appeal. If you embrace it, it can be a very beautiful thing.

Keep working hard and you can get anything that you want. If God gave you the talent, you should go for it. But don't think it's going to be easy. It's hard!

You have to love what you do to want to do it everyday.

It’s in how you carry yourself. I’ve always been a very mature person, and I’ve always known what I wanted. And I go after it no matter what.

If at first you don't succeed/You can dust it off and try again/Dust yourself off and try again.

Whatever will be, will be.

I see myself as sexy. If you are comfortable with it, it can be very classy and appealing.

Keep working hard and you can get anything that you want.

Atlantic reckoned we should use a top Yank producer and appointed one Eddie Kramer to the post. It turns out the guy was full of bullshit and couldn't produce a healthy fart.

The fact is that we would have had comprehensive health care now had it not been for Ted Kennedy's deliberately blocking the legislation that I proposed in 1978 or '79.

Loving God with all our mind means that our thinking is wholly engaged to do all it can to awaken and express the heartfelt fullness of treasuring God above all things.

From the time I could play the piano, I remember trying to write tunes. They were in my head, and I would just sit down and start noodling. Next thing I knew, I had written a melody.

My employer uses twenty-six years of my life for every year I get to keep. And what do I get in return for the enormous thing I am giving? What do I get in return for my life?

You get an image in the first couple of years of your career, and then whether you like it or not, you are stuck with it for the rest of your life.

Once you put a thought into the world, it can be disagreed with, but it can't be unthought.
