It's not all wet towels and naked women. I was so disappointed to learn that.

With all my heart, and all my soul, I will love you till the winds don't blow. Until the oceans turn to stone, my love is yours and yours alone. My love is forever, until forever's gone.

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.

There'll be time enough for counting when the dealing's done.

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

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.

I'm much more comfortable singing than talking.
