thinking play actors
Whenever I've been asked to be in a film, directors only want me to play myself... I'm fascinated by the thought of being an actor, but it's too hard. And I think Shakespeare-which has been suggested to me-might be a bit of a stretch.
thinking singing enemy
Time is my enemy. Time will catch up with me vocally. And I dread that. I dread to think about life without singing.
love-is thinking age-love
I think teen-age love is a great thing. There's nothing quite like it and never will be for the rest of your life.
character thinking voice
I don't think you can sing about certain things when you're a teen-ager or in your early 20s, because you haven't lived long enough. So I think living gives you character and that comes out in your voice.
thinking giving people
People who go out and do hits year after year after year, I think the fans deserve more than that. The audiences deserve more than just that. You need to give them something new, or things you really love to sing. And they love it.
thinking long people
I think the people who really love the way somebody sings, they like to hear it. As long as you don't change your style completely or do something that has nothing to do with what you're known for, which I don't agree with.
thinking coal-miners tuberculosis
Oh yeah, I would have been a coal miner, I would think, if I hadn't had tuberculosis when I was 12.
eye night thinking
I have had some pretty wild nights! I think the media keeps a very close eye on what people are up to these days. I was out with George Clooney a few nights ago and we had a great time.
thinking firsts towns
I think the first time I ever wore a tuxedo was when I played at the Talk Of The Town in 1967, because it was a nightclub and that was the thing to do.
thinking hands looks
I've tried wearing more than one ring on one hand and it doesn't look good. It's overkill, I think. So I think a ring on either hand. Nine times out of ten I'll go for pinky rings, but not always.
song thinking performing
I think when you've lived a bit, you read more into the songs. I do, anyway. And you're sort of living the songs rather than performing them.
coming competition country five girls next six teams three top tougher year
We will up our competition every meet, and next weekend's is one of the tougher ones we'll have this year with three of the top five or six teams in the country coming in. We have a long way to go, and we have to get some girls healthy.
ability anyone natural power seen speed stanley vision
I've never seen anyone with the natural ability of Stanley and the vision Stanley has. The combination of the speed and power and ability to make any play a big play.
behind corner except feet open southeast square zone
Things are going great. We have everything open except for approximately 12,000 square feet in the back southeast corner of the building. It's walled off, and it's a construction zone behind there.
