The Hall of Fame is forever, baby!

You gotta know when to hold'em, know when to foldem, know when to walk away, know when to run. You never count your money when you're sittin at the table, there'll be time enuff for countin' when the dealin's done.

I do ballads that say what every man wants to say and that every woman wants to hear, or I do songs about social issues.

Music is what I am, everything else is what I do.

The music business is strictly business.
