When I'm onstage they know I'm honest, and I try to be as humble as I can.

Dancing, apart to music with a beat, is my legacy.

I'm just grateful to be on this planet. I have no enemies that I know of. I'm just the guy who makes happy.

My outlet is my music, and it's been this way since I was 4 years old.

What turns me on is to walk into a sold-out venue. The audiences are so much the same as they were in the '60s. It's just an amazing thing. I can't explain it, but I hope it never stops.

It takes a real soldier to stay in the music industry and live off the things that have been put before me and be able to survive all this time because it has not been easy.

I want my flowers while I'm alive.

God's got something for me. I have faith it'll be OK.

Do you realize that I have had five albums in the Top 30. Elvis and The Beatles have never done that. I had five singles in the Top 5, I mean, no one's ever done that.

When I'm onstage they know I'm honest, and I try to be as humble as I can.

Before I got in this business I was in the chicken business.

Everybody in the '80s, well, we hate rap. Now, the biggest rapper in the world... Eminem. Rap's a black thing.

Besides, at 62 years old I look like I'm about 27.

Justin Timberlake, Britney Spears all the rappers, they're doing my dances and they're making billions doing my dances. When they do that little thing they do with their hands that's The Fly and The Pony.

I compare the Twist to the electric light, The Twist is me, and I'm it. I'm the electric light.

I want people to look at a checkerboard and think of me!

Homey don't quit. What else are you gonna do? It's like those guys in the cartoon they get up in the morning, check the clock and fight all day and after it's over they check the clock and go home. That's how it goes.

Ever see a little kid walking around talking to himself? I'm the same way.

The majority of Taiwan people cannot accept Taiwan becoming a second Hong Kong, nor can we accept Taiwan becoming a local government of the People's Republic of China or a Special Administrative Region of China.

I, sort of, got into comedy accidentally, and it got bigger than I wanted it to.

Each industry in a region should develop a playbook that expands and details the strategy and tactics of how to build a scalable startup.

I like to have a thing suggested rather than told in full. When every detail is given, the mind rests satisfied, and the imagination loses the desire to use its own wings.

Linux is only free if your time has no value.

A shepherd may be a very able, trusty, and good shepherd, without a sweetheart - better, perhaps, than with one. But what is he without his dog?

I know MMA isn't for everyone. It is a combat sport; some people don't like watching it, but it is entertainment for some people.

We have a tax code that allows groups to use their political operations within the tax code, under the guise of a charity, to use undisclosed millions of dollars to do political campaigns.

Our championship committee pledged to review entry conditions and to assess how women golfers might compete on equal terms with men for a place in the Open.

With drama, you need to be laughing, in between takes, 'cause you're going to those recesses of your soul and those dangerous parts. Normally, if you're not an actor or some crazy artist, you don't feel the need to run around in those areas. You keep them separate because it's painful.

If I have my opinion about something, you have your opinion about something, we don't have to fight over it. And we can have a conversation. We can also disagree without being disagreeable, and we can just disagree, which is fine. It doesn't mean that I don't like you, or you don't like me. We just disagree.

Without amendments we would never even have had the Bill of Rights.

A windmill is eternally at work to accomplish one end, although it shifts with every variation of the weathercock, and assums ten different positions in a day.

There are many selfish people who are extremely original, then they take those pure ideas and use them to raise themselves up, that is an insincere move.

The people who know Ted Cruz best despise him, including his former college roommate.

Peace and friendship with all mankind is our wisest policy, and I wish we may be permitted to pursue it.

There's no such thing, you know, as picking out the best woman: it's only a question of comparative badness, brother.

I really loved crunk. I loved the extreme nature of it, how repetitious it was, and how these basic, angry chants would just be repeated over and over again.

I actually work at my craft, and I actually want to be the best in my category, and I want to be a true actress. And a lot of people just want fame, and there's a huge difference.

It's hard to say that it gets any better to be at your alma mater and run a major college football program.

Recognising that the future growth of India will depend on greater skill development, the National Policy for Skill Development aims to create a skilled workforce of 500 million by 2022.

When you're making under-million-dollar films, it becomes so much about actors' availability. When you're using big actors for small films, you're in second or third position to the big monoliths.

Here we will solve with laws and dollars, problems that too many people around the world still must solve with violence and civil war.

Beauty of style and harmony and grace and good rhythm depend on simplicity.
