You've got to have something to eat and a little love in your life before you can hold still for any damn body's sermon on how to behave.

If I'm going to sing like someone else, then I don't need to sing at all.

God bless the child that's got his own.

Love is like a faucet, it turns off and on.

You can be up to your boobies in white satin, with gardenias in your hair and no sugar cane for miles, but you can still be working on a plantation.

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.

Don't threaten me with love, baby. Let's just go walking in the rain.
