Love is like a faucet, it turns off and on.
If I'm going to sing like someone else, then I don't need to sing at all.
Mom and Pop were just a couple of kids when they got married. He was eighteen, she was sixteen and I was three.
I never had a chance to play with dolls like other kids. I started working when I was six years old.
They think they can make fuel from horse manure - now, I don't know if your car will be able to get 30 miles to the gallon, but it's sure gonna put a stop to siphoning.
I never hurt nobody but myself and that's nobody's business but my own.
Sometimes it's worse to win a fight than to lose.
There's no damn business like show business - you have to smile to keep from throwing up.
Don't threaten me with love, baby. Let's just go walking in the rain.

Dope never helped anybody sing better or play music better or do anything better. All dope can do for you is kill you - and kill you the long, slow, hard way. And it can kill the people you love right...
If I don't have friends then I ain't nothing.
I'm always making a comeback but nobody ever tells me where I've been.
You can't copy anybody and end with anything. If you copy, it means you're working without any real feeling. No two people on earth are alike, and it's got to be that way in music or it isn't music.
