I woke up when I was 14 and went to speak to my mother and scared us both to death.

I woke up one morning, went downstairs, said 'Good morning' to my mother and nearly scared both of us to death.'

We forget that this music, music made by my brothers and sisters, is still a baby. It's just beginning. When I think of the possibilities, it makes me smile.

Been making love for hours and, baby, we're still going strong. Girl, this night is ours and I swear I feel it coming on. All I know is when we get through, I ain't going to be able to move.

Elton John's opinion turned the label's opinion around, all in a day.

We are all gods, all forces of nature. We can destroy, we can build. We are like oceans and like fires.

I don't know if it's my music, my lyrics, my sound and knowing the music business the way I do - all I can say is, my career has lasted way longer than I expected.
