BARRY MANILOWSneakers are not my thing.
BARRY MANILOWYou say something stupid and the next morning you’re in the headlines.
BARRY MANILOWI stay glued to my piano and my work. I don’t look up. I write, I produce, I do the next project, I do my job. I don’t look up, and I try to be kind. I try to be kind to people. That’s what I do.

BARRY MANILOWWhen it comes to me, I just write the most beautiful music I can, I do the best work I can, and then I hand it out there.
BARRY MANILOWHere’s proof that if you live long enough, anything is possible.
BARRY MANILOWI’ve been up, down, trying to get the feeling again. All around, trying to get the feeling again. The one that makes me shiver, made my knees start to quiver.
