It is difficult to get played at my age on the radio.
If I could undo what's been done, But I guess everyone is living, With water and bridges.
You gotta know when to hold 'em, know when to fold 'em, know when to walk away, know when to run.
The first six years of my career, I got more comments on my weight than on my singing. So I think I became so self-conscious that I started working on it harder.
Youth is a frame of mind. If you get out there and enjoy it, you can have it at any time of your life.
The music business is strictly business.
I've always said music should make you laugh, make you cry or make you think.
Friendships come and go, but families are forever.
The Hall of Fame is forever, baby!
Daytime friends and night time lovers, hoping that no one else discovers.
My music was my life, and it played a large part in my inability to sustain relationships.
You know, I've always said, I've never felt I was a particularly good singer, but I've always thought I had a great knack for picking hit songs.
People will clap to be nice. They will not laugh to be nice.
I feel like I learn something from everything I do.
I do ballads that say what every man wants to say and that every woman wants to hear, or I do songs about social issues.
Growing older is not upsetting; being perceived as old is.
If you want people to know what your message is, just sing it.
I was raised in the church.
If someone asks you to run the 100 yard dash as fast as you can, you'll run the 100 dash as fast as you think you can. But if you put someone along side you who runs a little faster, you are going to run faster - whoa - I better step it up a little bit. I do things even I didn't know I was capable of.
Stay away from trouble when you can.
