As you know, the business is cyclic with styles. It's no different from clothing styles.

When the audience leaves, I'd like them to feel positive when they go.

And I think that we're more of an alternative act in that sense, and that flavor comes across to the audience.

Our show doesn't rely on the typical whistles and bells, and smoke and mirrors. It relies mostly on the music.

I'm just thrilled to see people enjoying the music.

And looking at today's music scene, I think it's cool that there are a lot of consumers and fans not limited by what radio and the record companies tell them to buy.

But these days, I get a lot more attention and airplay from the Adult Contemporary and country radio stations, and I feel comfortable saying I'm a part of that.

I've always enjoyed playing live onstage.

There's also, I think more so in the music business and especially for women, this ceiling that people put on you if you have children or a family and decide to spend time with them.

I've had the big ups and the big downs.

I've been lucky. I've had this history of having an appeal to more than one type of audience.

I'll do a cappella stuff, rock 'n' roll and swing stuff.

I like the big ups. I'm into the big ups.

I can't live off of yesterday - that's in the past.

Songs like the Buck Owens tune, for example, are very simple and straightforward, and recording it really gave me a chance to get into and get a sense of Buck's personality, a feel for that whole Bakersfield sound.

This genre of music seems to want to push people into a certain time slot, which is unfortunate.

The very fact that I've had those established me to continue on to do new music and new projects.

In between that time, I've done book narrating, you know, books on tape for Dove Audio.

I'm really fortunate that I've had some mega hits.

As you know, the business is cyclic with styles. It's no different from clothing styles.

My biggest successes were mainly in the pop market during the 80s.

I work a lot, and not just in Las Vegas.

It would be nice to garner new fans and make it a success - and success is relevant, we already know all that.

I'm not a toy boy, bellybutton band, so I don't have to worry about that. Actually, I never did.

I never stopped working, but I did let my contract run out. And I didn't really actively pursue it.

Ride Em Cowboy dont let them throw ya down.. You cant make no money if ya hit the ground Ride Em Cowboy dont let them throw ya down Youre the toughest Cowboy in town.

Natural resources are so vast that no single individual or business is going to protect them; they don't have an incentive to.

The bronze powder business, however, no longer required my personal attention, and was well managed by those I had chosen as the guardians of a secret, which was long and honourably kept.

I have done things politically, and I've been running a business at the same time, but I sort of joke that to some extent I do more than most legislators have done in their whole careers, and I've been doing it as a part-time job.

Howard Hughes himself was a regular at the restaurant, and in a way it became his headquarters, too. Howard had recently relocated to Las Vegas, so when he wanted to do business in Los Angeles, he went into the back of our restaurant to use the telephone.

Prosperous farmers mean more employment, more prosperity for the workers and the business men of every industrial area in the whole country.

My parents were amazing people who had no business being together - and they knew it.

We mean by "politics" the people's business - the most important business there is.

Slovakia's joining the OECD in 1999 is totally dependent on meeting economic reforms required such as transparency and legislation that permits fair and open conduct of trade and business.

The way the business things work in Russia is you have to meet people, you have to go through a certain amount of etiquette and business things are done just simply by a shake of the hand and whether they like you or not.

I make no claim to being a business genius. You can make so much money in this business that it loses its value.

It costs a great deal of money to do a musical, and the more money involved, the more big business influences the artform.

It's a very hard and competitive business in which you have to fight every day in order to impose yourself.

I know the history of the record business so well because I followed Billie Holiday into the record studios. It was so primitive compared to the sophisticated business today.

Chicago kept industry, attracted new business, became the center for convention trade and transportation.

I have been, and will go on, fighting that damnable, dirty, rotten business with all the power at my command.

All business success rests on something labeled a sale, which at least momentarily weds company and customer.

I knew an actor's career goes up and down and back up again. Your standing in this business can't be your whole identity; otherwise, you're doomed.

The surest way to return to the people's business is to listen to the people themselves: We need to drop this whole scheme of federally controlled health care, start over, and work together on real reforms at the state level that will contain costs and won't leave America trillions of dollars deeper in debt.

Again, I say I will be glad to tell what songs I have ever sung, because singing is my business.

You have to be a star to be in this business.

The government must do all it can to help reduce interest rates for business.

Do what you love to do and give it your very best. Whether it's business or baseball, or the theater, or any field. If you don't love what you're doing and you can't give it your best, get out of it. Life is too short. You'll be an old man before you know it.

I have never had anything done. I've been asked if I had breast implants. Whether I did or not, it's nobody's business but my own.
