“You’re in my heart, you’re in my soul. You’ll be my breath, should I grow old.”

Only a fool permits the letter of the law to override the spirit in the heart. Do not let a piece of paper stand in the way of true love and headlines.

There’s still plenty of lead in this pencil, but I only write to one person now.

Even the President needs passion.

I have a voice coach, but only in so much as to make my voice stronger so I can sing for five nights a week, two hours.

Lyrics are coming to you all the time. I get inspiration in the middle of the night.

I love change, I need it.

Won’t someone please answer my prayers before I’m old and gray. I’ve been lonely too long and all my family thinks I’m gay.

Spread your wings and let me come inside.

I’m shrewd about money; I invest well and look after it. But it’s in my nature to be generous. I look after people.

Well, there’s not a day goes by when I don’t get up and say thank you to somebody.

I’m very proud of my well-earned wrinkles, so show ’em.

I have a very lively and colourful show. It’s two hours of hits and the music speaks for itself.

I’ve still got a brilliant head of hair, which refuses to lay down.

I’ve always been able to get inside a song really easily, and if it’s my song, I can make it seem honest.

I think, with suits and clothes, if you keep them long enough, they all come back in fashion. It’s like me. I’ve been around long enough and I’ve come back in fashion.

Fast cars like Porsches and Ferraris – they are things of beauty.

You cannot cheat success! Gotta work for it! You gotta breathe it! Sleep it! Eat it!

When you want this thing as bad as you want to breathe! That’s when you find a way!

You have to want to succeed as bad as you want to breathe!

Take a deep breath, relax and imagine yourself exactly as you wish to be.

When the need to succeed is as bad as the need to breathe, then you’ll be successful.

Each of your breaths is a priceless jewel, since each of them is irreplaceable and once gone, can never be retrieved.

I need a little room to breathe cause I am one step closer to the edge. And I’m about to break.

Place your attention 6 inches above your crown. God is breathing in and out there.
