Let the music play on would be my legacy.

Simplicity is the key to what I do.

Forget about 40 years in show business. Just surviving 27 years of Nicole Richie is enough.

I grew up with the Grand Ole Opry, Dottie West, Conway Twitty, Buck Owens... not realizing it was influencing me as much as it was.

I'm a songwriter, and people will tell you the greatest stories about their lives, whether you want to hear it or not.

All artists are egotistical maniacs with inferiority complexes.

Exactly when people are in turmoil is the time that the entertainment business has always been at its best. Because people don't want to be reminded every day that they are under siege, or that they're not having a great time of life.
