George Jones was my all-time favorite singer and one of my favorite people in the world.
I love traveling all over the world; but it's true: there's nothing like home.
Every time I come to Europe, I'm just as excited as I was my very first time, which was many, many years ago. I love that part of the world, and I especially love the fans.
There are some loony people in this world!
You never know what's going to happen to you when you head out into the big world. And when you get older, you don't know how you're going to be thought of or seen.
God knows when the end of time will come, not some fanatic... The world will end someday, but the end of the world and the end of time are two different things.
The world is my stage.
I try to be good at it, whatever part I'm playing - even in my daily life or when the spotlight hits me on the stage to perform - I gotta be alive every second in this world. With or without the applause!
I always ask God to work through me and let me be a light of some kind and help in this world, so I always pray for that, and I always want to do good.
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.
There was a circle of friends, and a circle of performers, and a circle of love at the old place.
I used to feel so proud to be there with what I thought at the time were where the legends and heroes has stood and had sung. And I've been in the business so long, I've almost become one of them. So it's like I'm standing in my own footsteps.
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.
