I still listen to older music a lot more than new singers. I listen to whatever's on the radio, but when I want to listen to something that moves me I put on a Stevie Wonder record.

When I saw you, when I saw you I could not breathe, I fell so deep. When I saw you, when I saw you I'd never be, I'd never be the same.

I work myself into the ground. But I think I'm a nice friend and a good person, and I try to do my work as best I can.

If critics have problems with my personal life, it's their problem. Anybody with half a brain would realize that it's the charts that count.

I can't wear flat shoes. My feet repel them.

Don't you know that you're blowing my mind? What you do to me I can't describe. Baby, I can't hold back anymore. I just can't conceal it. You're the one I really adore.

You don't have to be doing vocal acrobatics or singing all over the scale to have soul.
