I believe that Judy Garland's artistry was so fine. I mean, when people say: 'oh, she brought so much of her life to her music', I don't really believe that. I believe that she didn't have to. She just was a moving human being. That was her gift.

I've always been lucky enough to have great audiences. It has been quite a life.

Just remember, during the winter, far beneath the bitter snow, that there's a seed that with the sun's love in the spring becomes a rose.

Writing a book is not as tough as it is to haul thirty-five people around the country and sweat like a horse five nights a week.

In a marriage, you struggle and struggle and struggle, and then you realize that you have to ride the horse in the direction it's going. You stop trying to pull the reins in another direction.

I've always said that people have unrealistic expectations.

GOD is watching us, from a Distance.
