I think that men should wear shoes that if there's an emergency, they're gonna be able to help.

Holding a menu at arm's length, peering at anything that required reading, made me feel so old.

My heroes are the ones who survived doing it wrong, who made mistakes, but recovered from them.

I'm obsessed with five different things a day. It's like lightbulbs in a Christmas light chain.

Songs are like anything else - they dictate to you which ones go together and which ones don't.

I loved music from the age of eight. Jazz and blues. But also Little Richard and Elvis Presley.

But I was feeling quite down at the time. I was living in L.A., which was kind of weird for me.

It wasn't my dream to make music. It was just something I ended up doing, and no one said stop.

There's no such thing is aging, but maturing and knowledge. It's beautiful, I call that beauty.

I'm not James Brown. I'm not Sam Cooke. I'm Charley Pride. I'm just me and that's what you got.

I was sometimes jeered by black soldiers who wanted me to sing something besides country music.

I know that my fans want to know who I'm sleeping with, but it's really none of their business.

My definition of the blues is the naked cry of the human heart longing to be in union with God.

Let hope inspire you, but let not idealism blind you. Don't look back, you can never look back.

Mary Hart says she meant to stay on 'Entertainment Tonight' for three years. She was on for 29.

I don't wear my political feelings on my sleeve. However, if I'm asked, I will answer honestly.

I'm just an ordinary, walking-down-the-street, mother of two children who sings for her supper.

The groups, though, were my inspiration way back then. I liked Frankie Lyman and the Teenagers.

Right now, my voice is better than ever. It changed. I have better low notes than I had before.

Marriage isn't something you agree to do one day, and if things don't go right, then it's over.

Here's what I think about music and journalism: The most important thing is to just press play.

You can take the guy out of the neighorhood but you can't take the neighborhood out of the guy.

I was always a bit different. I had a very happy childhood, but I could never hang on to mates.

I came from a very strict background, and didn't hear any Jamaican music when I was growing up.

I guess play piano, you know, because that's the thing I started doing when I was a little kid.

I'm an 18-year-old boy, and I'm having fun. I'm just not having as much fun as people make out.

Women today have more of an overview of their lives and how marriage is or is not a part of it.

I have other projects to do. I try not to let that documentation interfere with my present day.

I like music that's more offensive. I like it to sound like nails on a blackboard, get me wild.

I don't believe in anything, only in myself, but I respect all people who believe in something.

Music is not a work for me - it's a form of meditation, and you don't need to work hard for it.

I'm determined to be contented, and having plenty of money from working makes it easier for me.

I would never become a size zero. I work out because I want to look good naked, simple as that.

When I have the opportunity, I want to perform the guitar live for my fans. Please expect that!

I would love to make an album full of ballads. For a listener, I want to have variety on there.

I've always been a little shy about taking my clothes off, but I don't worry about it any more.

I have always had a separate walk-in wardrobe, so I have the luxury of a fairly sparse bedroom.

It's amazing the support we've been able to get from Latinos and just in general from everyone.
