All I have to concentrate on is my performing.

I'm not the sharpest knife in the drawer, but I do know how to count.

If you have good food, people will come to your restaurant.

If you're not on a major label today, you're not gonna get played. They've got the market sewed up.

If I cut an album now and sell it for ten bucks, I can put seven dollars and fifty cents in my pocket.

I've grown up with my audience; they're my age or older. Not a lot of kids are coming to see me.

All I want to do is do my shows and play golf.

I had some airline stock, but the airlines tanked. I didn't have a lot of money in them, though.

All my money was made doing the dates and selling products when I was out there on the road.

Don't all the girls get prettier at closing time?

When a record co. finds a guy now, they want to own everything. They want to own the rights to market that person's particular name. They want a piece of the action all the way through.

Confronting discomfort is giving me strength, in a world where perfect strangers can render me powerless.

Your mom said to say I could have just one peanut butter square but not til after they cool down.

We no longer admit any other truth than that which is expedient; for there is no worse error than the truth that may weaken the arm that is fighting.

The reward is in the doing of it.

I actually do believe in life after death.

Anyone who's ever had the misfortune of seeing me interact with house pets knows I have a wickedly strong paternal instinct bordering on the maternal.

Diamonds are supposed to be a girl's best friend but it's impossible to know for sure where they have come from so I find it is safer just to avoid them altogether.

Marriage is the dark side of the honeymoon

I have never seen a beautiful painting of a beautiful woman. But you can take an ugly woman and make a beautiful painting of her. It is the painting itself that should be beautiful.

I like to make something beautiful when I run ... it's style. It's doing something better than anyone else. It's being creative.
