"I've got to be myself, and I can't be myself unless I sing what I feel."

"I don't need no one to tell me how to sing. I just open my mouth and everything comes out."

"Somebody once said we never know what is enough until we know what's more than enough."

"I'm not supposed to be a singer. I'm supposed to be a painter. I can paint, you know."

"I want to be a big star, I want to be a big star. And I want to wear a mink coat and drive a Cadillac."
