Misfits aren't misfits among other misfits.

I feel that after all those horrible reviews and jokes, I wasn't crazy all these years to stand up for the music I believe in. This album has proven that somewhere in the human race, the human heart is still racing and breaking and I am so grateful.

The shows at the Hilton are the most exciting shows I've ever done. The stage is huge, but the theater is intimate, so we can have a magnificent production and still connect with the audience.

There's just no quiet in Vegas.

Here's proof that if you live long enough, anything is possible.

Misfits aren't misfits among other misfits.

Atrial fibrillation has been the low man on the totem pole and so we're just trying to get more visibility about this particular disease and how dangerous this could be.

Everybody has to find out: who are you? What do you believe in?

Everything you say and do is having an impact on others.

For a Jewish guy, I've recorded a lot of Christmas albums.

I am a musician. My passion for music has obliterated everything in its path for my entire life.

I come from nowhere Brooklyn, New York. Williamsburg, Brooklyn. These days Williamsburg is kind of a hip area, but when I grew up there, the taxi drivers wouldn't even go over the bridge, it was so dangerous.

I didn't want to be treated like a 'star.' I fought it constantly, and I think I was rude.

I love any opportunity I have to make music.

I was the Justin Bieber of the '70s. Really, I was.

My goal was always to be involved in music that would outlive me. And maybe that's actually happening.

My hair was slicked down with a part. But that was before I discovered the blow-dryer. Now I'm fabulous.

No one person or material thing could ever come close to the feeling I get when the music is right.

QVC has been very good to me.

Sneakers are not my thing.

The public needs to know - they need to know as much about atrial fibrillation as they do about cancer and diabetes.

These days, with 'American Idol' and all the other reality shows, young people become famous overnight, and that can be very difficult to handle, the way photographers follow you around and study your every move.

What we hear now is great-sounding records with great-sounding grooves and loops. And the sound of these records is irresistible, but the craft of songwriting is just about over. That's why, whenever I get an opportunity to do an album full of standards, I jump at it because I miss it.

Whenever there was a choice between music and anything else, music won hands down every time.

You can't possibly prepare for what happens to you the day you hit No. 1 and people treat you differently.

You know, when I did 'American Idol' the three times, I tried to tell these kids you have to tell the story of the lyric.

You say something stupid and the next morning you're in the headlines.

Don't focus on what's wrong. Things may not be perfect, but be grateful for the opportunity to experience each day. Live each day like it could be your last.

A coward talks to everyone but you.

I said to Scott that the ascent seemed to be going slowly and that I was concerned descending climbers could possibly run out of oxygen before their return to camp IV.

I had a friend who was a clown. When he died, all his friends went to the funeral in one car.

Sometimes I read reviews, and without exception I will read critical essays that are sent to me. The critical essays are interesting on their own terms.

Soon I learned that the worse the puns and jokes, the funnier they could be, if you knew how to deliver them.

The same song on a different day was a different song.

Customers need to be given control of their own data-not being tied into a certain manufacturer so that when there are problems they are always obliged to go back to them.

It's wonderful to feel supported, but there's a lot of negative energy towards me as well. So I ignore it, to be honest. If I started to read it all it would completely mess up my head.

Theres no question dolphins are smarter than humans as they play more.

My 2005 calendar we actually did a shoot in Lake Las Vegas. Since I had requests do some swimwear and athletic shots we tried them and they came out good so we inserted them into the new calendar.

Planning to write is not writing. Outlining, researching, talking to people about what you're doing, none of that is writing. Writing is writing.

When I was not connected with someone, I didn't get asked out that often.

The cause-effect sequences in our brains are just as determining, just as inescapable, as anywhere else in Nature.

I try to eat as near perfect as possible, but once in a while I eat for my taste buds. For example, I occasionally like to treat myself to a small cup of chocolate frozen yogurt - plus toppings.

Everyone has a different beauty and different qualities and I think that women need to learn to love their qualities and be comfortable in the fact that everyone is different.

In my teen years leading up to the Olympics, I loved having the excuse to skip out on parties because of skating. Partying wasn't my thing anyway. Mostly I hung out with other skaters. We were all buddies, so it's not like I missed out on socializing. I was really enjoying myself.

The 'Friday sessions' refer to something that you're not paid for and not supposed to do during your professional life. Curiosity-driven research. Something random, simple, maybe a bit weird - even ridiculous. Without it, there are no discoveries.

I have to approach my life in this way so I can do what I need to do, and do it very well.
