Absence makes the heart grow fonder and tears are only rain to make love grow.

I'm not into the money thing. You can only sleep in one bed at a time. You can only eat one meal at a time, or be in one car at a time. So I don't have to have millions of dollars to be happy. All I need are clothes on my back, a decent meal, and a little loving when I feel like it. That's the bottom line.

What I've got to live up to, is being myself. If I do that, the rest will take care of itself.

What is a soul? It's like electricity - we don't really know what it is, but it's a force that can light a room.

Even though I'm not Jewish...Israel is one of the few causes I feel good about supporting.

I never wanted to be famous. I only wanted to be great.

I think that most great artists who are extremely known, as I am, would intimidate a lot of people. I don't want to do that to people, but I know I do.
