You can't eat a winner's plaque.

Food makes my mind sluggish.

I said to [Lionel] Richie, "Man, my wife says you must really respect women because you write such beautiful love songs."

Audiences - they like colour, you know. I can go out there wearing a red suit, man, and they'll say I'm out of sight ... I think they should be educated; you should always drop something on an audience ... When you get in front of an audience, you should try to give 'em something. After all, they're there looking at you like this. You can't go out and give 'em nothing.

Music is an addiction.

Somebody, my daughter or my wife, gave me a music box for Christmas. It plays "My Funny Valentine" on celeste, you know? So I had Bobby [Irving] just play "Jean Pierre" with the changes on celeste.

Music is a funny thing when you really come to think about it.
