Talent is only a starting point in business. You've got to keep working that talent.

I've got my love to keep me warm.

Got no checkbooks, got no banks. Still I'd like to express my thanks - I've got the sun in the mornin' and the moon at night.

God bless America, land that I love. Stand beside her, and guide her through the night with a light from above.

There may be trouble ahead - But while there's moonlight, and music, and love, and romance -Let's face the music and dance.

You can't write a song out of thin air you have to feel and know what you are writing about.

Listen kid, take my advice, never hate a song that has sold half a million copies.
