The first six years of my career, I got more comments on my weight than on my singing. So I think I became so self-conscious that I started working on it harder.

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

I had holes in my jeans well before it was fashionable.

Stay away from trouble when you can.

You know, I've always said, I've never felt I was a particularly good singer, but I've always thought I had a great knack for picking hit songs.

You gotta know when to hold 'em, know when to fold 'em, know when to walk away, know when to run.

I'm much more comfortable singing than talking.
