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

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.

When Steve Jobs toured Xerox PARC and saw computers running the first operating system that used Windows and a mouse, he assumed he was looking at a new way to work a personal computer. He brought the concept back to Cupertino and created the Mac, then Bill Gates followed suit, and the rest is history.

The interesting thing about acting is using all your own stuff and having some kind of personal catharsis while you're working.

I never lived in an abandoned railroad station.

When yu' can't have what you choose, yu' just choose what you have.

I love wearing things that come with a story.

The Universal Declaration of Human Rights describes the family as the natural and fundamental unit of society. It follows that any choice and decision with regard to the size of the family must irrevocably rest with the family itself, and cannot be made by anyone else.

In the U.S., the '50s and '60s marked the documentary's golden age, especially at CBS, where pioneering television journalist Edward R. Murrow, immortalised in George Clooney's 'Good Night, and Good Luck,' produced such landmark investigations as the CBS Reports programme 'Hunger in America.'

There are reasons why Religious Right Evangelicals will continue to dominate religious discourse, not only in their own sector of the Christian community, but also in what transpires in mainline denominations.

What it takes to be unique is just to realize that you are one only i.e. you are a unique creation. So be remain unique.

For myself, if I'm trying to obtain a certain longevity in my career, to establish myself as a certain kind of star, I don't want that black exploitation image.

What about the hero of The House on the Strand? What did it mean when he dropped the telephone at the end of the book? I don't really know, but I rather think he was going to be paralysed for life. Don't you?

Let's be honest, I don't think anyone ever wants to settle down in Hollywood - it's a place you go to work. And once you've hit it, you get out of there as soon as you can. It's definitely not a place you want to get married and have kids.

It is sometimes necessary to lie damnably in the interests of the nation.

When you are courting a nice girl an hour seems like a second. When you sit on a red-hot cinder a second seems like an hour. That's relativity.

I have my own definition of minimalism, which is that which is created with a minimum of means.

Life is not better and more moral than it was in the '50s. It's just the same.

I remember the day tDr. King died. I wasn't angry at the beginning. It was like something very personal in my life had been touched and finished.

Desire nothing, give up all desires and be happy.

My first show, in England, was called 'Soldier, Soldier.'

Acceptable food rots while we are chased from bins behind restaurants, chased from sleeping on the street, chased from relieving ourselves unless we pay for food or gas, until finally we are so hungry, sleepless, smelly, constipated and beaten-down that we simply die of lack of will to live.

I love working with a stylist but I also love having personal relationships with designers. A stylist is great for pulling together an entire outfit, accessories included, and for shaking me out of my comfort zone.

I think American interests are served when there are sections of the world that have representative governments, politically open economic systems, and are willing to take a stand against some of the more extreme ideologies that there are around the world.

As designers, we have a great responsibility.
