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 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!
The way I see it, if you want the rainbow, you gotta put up with the rain. When I'm inspired, I get excited because I can't wait to see what I'll come up with next. Find out who you are and do it on purpose.

I've always admired Sir Elton's songwriting, musicianship and singing and I'm thrilled to be working with him,
I usually get up at 3 A.M. I don't require a lot of sleep, and if I get tired, I'll take a powernap during the day.
