The whole basis of my singing is feeling. Unless I feel something, I can't sing.

When you sing, always tell the truth.

If you think dope is for kicks and for thrills, you're out of your mind. There are more kicks to be had in a good case of paralytic polio or by living in an iron lung.

I can't stand to sing the same song the same way two nights in succession. If you can, then it ain't music, it's close order drill, or exercise or yodeling or something, not music.

If I don't have friends, then I ain't nothing.

Somebody once said we never know what is enough until we know what's more than enough.

They think they can make fuel from horse manure - now, I don't know if your car will be able to get 30 miles to the gallon, but it's sure gonna put a stop to siphoning.
