You treat a lady like a dame, and a dame like a lady.

If power doesn't mean that you have the opportunity to work with the people that you love , then you haven't really got any.

I'm supposed to have a Ph.D. on the subject of women.

I believe in you and me. I'm like Albert Schweitzer and Bertrand Russell and Albert Einstein in that I have a respect for life -- in any form. I believe in nature, in the birds, the sea, the sky, in everything I can see or that there is real evidence for. If these things are what you mean by God, then I believe in God. But I don't believe in a personal God to whom I look for comfort or for a natural on the next roll of the dice.

Throughout my career, if I have done anything, I have paid attention to every note and every word I sing - if I respect the song. If I cannot project this to a listener, I fail.

Whatever else has been said about me personally is unimportant. When I sing, I believe. I'm honest.

A man doesn't know what happiness is until he's married. By then it's too late.
