The image is one thing and the human being is another...it's very hard to live up to an image.

When I first saw you with your smile so tender, my heart was captured, my soul surrendered.

When I was a child, ladies and gentlemen, I was a dreamer. I read comic books, and I was the hero of the comic book. I saw movies, and I was the hero in the movie. So every dream I ever dreamed, has come true a hundred times... I learned very early in life that "Without a song, the day would never end; without a song, a man ain't got a friend; without a song, the road would never bend - without a song." So I keep singing a song. Goodnight. Thank you.

I figure all any kid needs is hope and the feeling he or she belongs.

It's all a big hoax, honey. I never wrote a song in my life. I get one-third of the credit for recording it. It makes me look smarter than I am. I've never even had an idea for a song. Just once, mybe.

Animals don't hate, and we're supposed to be better than them.

Love is a thing you never can share.
