Barry Manilow

I think my music is like anchovies – some people like it, some people get nauseous.
BARRY MANILOW

Inspirational People Thinking
I keep reading about people who want to be famous – it’s not that they want to be great songwriters or great actors, they want to be celebrities. That is scary because you can be famous doing some really stupid things.

People Reading Stupid
My goal was always to be involved in music that would outlive me. And maybe that’s actually happening.

I didn’t want to be treated like a ‘star.’ I fought it constantly, and I think I was rude.

QVC has been very good to me.

Done Good Manner Very
Every few years, I go back into all the songs and I update them so that it never sounds like an oldies show. If you come to the shows, they’re full of muscle. ‘Copacabana’ sounds like it could have been released yesterday.

Song Years Yesterday
Fame is always a shock to the system; there’s no school to go to, there are no books to read, and when it hits you, it’s a surprise. You could be working for 10, 20 years and when it finally hits you, you get knocked down.

Book School Years
My style of music is the great American songbook meets the pop world of the Seventies and Eighties.

Feeling Love Music Passion Right
I am a musician. My passion for music has obliterated everything in its path for my entire life.
BARRY MANILOW

Musician Passion Path
I was always into the music. Music, in general, saved my life. But the fame part… I would look up, see what was going on around me, the reporters and photographers and all, and then I would just go back to making my music.

Fame Looks Photographer
I am nervous that the craft of songwriting is taking a nose dive…And since I’m a songwriter and I connect with an interpretative, you know, interpretation of a song, I miss it. I just miss it.

Missing Noses Song
For a Jewish guy, I’ve recorded a lot of Christmas albums.
BARRY MANILOW

Albums Christmas Guy
First of all, I’ve been having a wonderful run of luck with cover albums, songs I didn’t write. I had five pop cover albums and two Christmas albums, and they were all very successful.
BARRY MANILOW

Running Song Writing
We’ve made mistakes, But we’ve made good friends too. Remember all the nights we spent with them? And all our plans, Who says they can’t come true? Tonight’s another chance to start again. It’s just another New Year’s Eve, Another night like all the rest.
BARRY MANILOW

Friend Good Mistake New Year
You can’t possibly prepare for what happens to you the day you hit No. 1 and people treat you differently.
