“I didn’t graduate high school, so I never got a teacher’s education, I’m mostly self-read, self-taught.”

I’ve crashed my car three times.

I won’t be righteous again. I’m not sure anymore.

I can’t think of one person I’ve ever met who didn’t like some type of music.

We all have a face that we hide away forever, and we take them out and show ourselves when everyone has gone.

We are living in a time when American popular music is finally being recognized as one of our most successful exports. The demand is huge.

So before we end And then begin We’ll drink a toast to how it’s been A few more hours to be complete A few more nights on satin sheets A few more times that I can say, I’ve loved these days.

You’ve got your passion. You’ve got your pride. But don’t you know that only fools are satisfied? Dream on, but don’t imagine they’ll all come true.

Fifty percent of the doctors in this country graduated in the bottom half of their classes.

My parents didn’t make a lot of money. My dad was not a high school graduate.

Understood what the struggle was about. My mother. Couldn’t read or write, but she had more sense than many a graduate from Harvard.

My dad didn’t graduate from high school, ended up being a printing salesman, probably never made more than $8,000 a year.
