Singing is a way of escaping. It's another world. I'm no longer on earth.

I'm sure that I've already been dead.

When you reach the top, you should remember to send the elevator back down for the others.

I want to make people cry even when they don't understand my words.

Every damn fool thing you do in this life you pay for.

I think you have to pay for love with bitter tears.

To sing is to bring to life; impossible if the words are mediocre, however good the music.
