“What will it take for you to believe in me, the way that I believe in you?”

I’m single but interviewing.

Most people you’d tell “I’m gonna be a musician,” they’d say, “you’re crazy, you’re gonna starve, you’re gonna be poor, a drug addict, go to jail, you’ll never make it, there’s too much competition.

Some love is just a lie of the heart, the cold remains of what began with a passionate heart.

Davey Crocket, Peter Pan, Elvis Presley, Disneyland.

You can pay Uncle Sam with all your overtime, is that all you get for your money?

There are people who have lost every trace of human kindness.

We all end in the ocean. We all start in the streams. We’re all carried along, by the river of dreams.

I’d rather laugh with the sinners than cry with the saints – the sinners are much more fun.

…And you’re the only one who knows.

You can walk away from your mistakes You can turn your back on what you do Just a little smile is all it takes And you can have your cake and eat it too.

You want to give people a reason to hate my guts more? I’m making more money.

Win any way you can as long as you can get away with it.

When I die, and people realize that I will not be resurrected in three days, they will forget me. That is the way it should be.

Whatever that means, however you got on that mountain, why not try to climb it? And do it in your own way.

Been in this game one-hundred years, but I see new ways to lose ’em I never knew existed before.

If you don’t believe in winning, you don’t believe in free enterprise, capitalism, our way of life.

It wasn’t a being-with-each-other kind of close. We all went our own ways.
