If I can get my dress on, my weight is under control.
One is only poor, only if they choose to be.
If I have one more facelift I'll have a beard!
When you come from where I come from, if anyone in the family makes it out, the others kind of come with you.
If there's a heaven, I hope to hell I go!
If there's something you know and there's something you feel, but you can't quite express it, you will hear it somewhere. And you don't have to worry, because someone will get it sung out.
Tell me I have to be somewhere, and I'll be there 20 minutes early and stay there longer than anybody else. You hold up a lot of people if you're not on time.
If I see something sagging, bagging or dragging I'll get it nipped, tucked or sucked.
Stop this attitude that older people ain't any good anymore! We're as good as we ever were - if we ever were any good.
I always just thought if you see somebody without a smile, give'em yours!
I still have my first paycheck. It was just, I think, a dollar or two that I got when I started as a songwriter with BMI, and I had some songs there that I had through the company, and in the mail I got this big old check for, like, a dollar and a half or something. Somebody had recorded one of my songs.
I will not play just an evil part. In fact, I got offered $7 million several years ago to play the part that Faye Dunaway played in 'Supergirl.' I was kind of insulted. I was impressed with the money, but I said, 'Why are you asking me to play an evil witch? Do I come across as an evil witch to you?'
I will shed the sins and struggles, I have carried all these years. And I'll leave my heart wide open, I will love and have no fear.
I think he's one of the greatest songwriters of all time, ... Bob Dylan , Neil Young, Merle Haggard , Hank Williams. All of them are different styles, but those are the songs that make the times. They're the songs that last through time.
