Sheena Easton

Any time I have to get on a plane and leave my kids for a few days, it's kind of tortuous.
Sheena Easton

Disco is just pop music you can dance to.
Sheena Easton

Even if your job is a professional singer, we still dork out at home.
Sheena Easton

Even though I pretty much made my own decisions early on, when I was younger I tended to overbook my life.
Sheena Easton

Every time I show up to do something here it's considered a comeback. If I came into town and they didn't call it that, I'd be disappointed.
Sheena Easton

I have lived in the United States for half of my life, my entire adult life.
Sheena Easton

I have the life of Riley. I take my kids to school, do a bit of work in the afternoon, pick my kids up, microwave a meal, hang out with my kids, and work for a couple of hours.
Sheena Easton

I used to hate, with a capitol H, making videos. It was nothing but a chore. It was something you had to do to have your music accepted in the visual medium.
Sheena Easton

I used to think I had to stay frozen in time. No amount of Botox will keep up.
Sheena Easton

I was blessed in the sense that I got handed so much early on in life. I got a lot of the things people go through their 20s and 30s craving.
Sheena Easton

I would make tea for Joni Mitchell or clean her car, anything to be in the studio and watch her work.
Sheena Easton

I wouldn't consciously pursue trying to make something for the charts. It's just not in my scope now. I'd rather stick needles in my eyes.
Sheena Easton

I'd love to do a duet with Luther Vandross.
Sheena Easton

I'm a terrible dancer. The worst.
Sheena Easton

I'm definitely a pop artist at heart.
Sheena Easton

I'm just passionately in love with my kids.
Sheena Easton

I'm terrible at relationships. I consider myself to be smart and a good mother but it's taken me this long to realise you don't have to marry a guy after three days or dump him.
Sheena Easton

If I have no children what would be the point of living.
Sheena Easton

If I was still at school, I'd be looking at Britney Spears and dying to be her.
Sheena Easton

It's nice to have been around long enough to be a part of people's lives. A lot of people who come to my show are real nostalgic for the '80s.
Sheena Easton

Fred Rogers

How sad it is that we give up on people who are just like us.
Fred Rogers

I like to compare the holiday season with the way a child listens to a favorite story. The pleasure is in the familiar way the story begins, the anticipation of familiar turns it takes, the familiar moments of suspense, and the familiar climax and ending.
Fred Rogers

I think of discipline as the continual everyday process of helping a child learn self-discipline.
Fred Rogers

Knowing that we can be loved exactly as we are gives us all the best opportunity for growing into the healthiest of people.
Fred Rogers

Parents are like shuttles on a loom. They join the threads of the past with threads of the future and leave their own bright patterns as they go.
Fred Rogers

Play is often talked about as if it were a relief from serious learning. But for children play is serious learning. Play is really the work of childhood.
Fred Rogers

You know, you don't have to look like everybody else to be acceptable and to feel acceptable.
Fred Rogers

Michael Bolton

A lot of my success comes from black music. It's something I'm very proud of.
Michael Bolton

A lot of the greatest compositions were made famous by Sinatra.
Michael Bolton

Black music has increased my enjoyment of what I do. It has increased my range, my ability to reach into myself and accept myself.
Michael Bolton

Considering the amount of information we're bombarded by, it's amazing if a song can transcend time.
Michael Bolton

Dr. King is so inspiring, so impressive, so moving as a human being.
Michael Bolton

For years I've kept a list of dream projects.
Michael Bolton

I have friends who've tried to break into the UK, who went back with their tails between their legs. Fortunately I've had the opposite experience.
Michael Bolton

I have to be happy in the here and now because every time you start focusing on your legacy you're really setting yourself up for disappointment.
Michael Bolton

I kept looking to do songs that were written years ago and would live or outlive all of us, and the one thing they had in common was Sinatra.
Michael Bolton

I love songwriting. It's second to my love for singing in how I express myself.
Michael Bolton

I was blown away by the control and the range that I was hearing. I'm listening to Pavarotti and thinking, What the hell have I been doing with my voice all these years?
Michael Bolton

I'm proud of my mentors. Ray Charles is the strongest influence on me as a singer.
Michael Bolton

It's a combination of melody and lyrics, not one without the other. It's a confluence of these different elements that makes something powerful.
Michael Bolton

It's an important thing to remember where you came from.
Michael Bolton

It's understanding the intention of a composer that allows a producer and an arranger to make those moments speak.
Michael Bolton

No matter how great we get with digital formats of instrumentation, nothing really quite duplicates the real thing.
Michael Bolton

One song will launch you, but you don't want to be a one-song artist.
Michael Bolton

Sinatra, here's a guy who plays a tough guy in all his movies, but was allowed to be vulnerable when he stepped up to the microphone.
Michael Bolton

Someone told me there was a publisher that could find a good home for my songs, but I didn't want to give up my pursuit of a career in the business as an artist.
Michael Bolton

The bigger you are, the harder they come down on you.
Michael Bolton

John Oates

I couldn't begin to name names... in general I have found racers to be some of the most competitive people on the planet... and some of the nicest as well.
John Oates

I do a lot of things behind the scenes. I do a lot of things that don't hit the headlines.
John Oates

I have a great family, I live an amazing life.
John Oates

I just like playing with the band and doing what I do.
John Oates

I like playing on stage, don't get me wrong.
John Oates

I think people were just starving for good material because they just weren't getting it on the radio.
John Oates

I was just glad to meet somebody outside of my group of small town friends who was into music. Somebody else who had aspirations to do something more than sing at a record hop.
John Oates

I wish I could see over crowds and small groups of people.
John Oates

If Daryl stopped touring it would be a big part of him missing.
John Oates

If I stopped touring tomorrow, it wouldn't change my life.
John Oates

If it wasn't for music, I doubt whether we'd be friends.
John Oates

If something that needs to be done that we don't feel confronting, we do it through the manager.
John Oates

If you look over the years, the styles have changed - the clothes, the hair, the production, the approach to the songs. The icing to the cake has changed flavors. But if you really look at the cake itself, it's really the same.
John Oates

In our relationship, we don't have that situation. I don't require what he needs, and he doesn't require what I need. I know what I do; I have an amazing life that nobody knows about.
John Oates

It's the music that brings us together.
John Oates

Sometimes, it's just great to bring new people into the mix.
John Oates

Swimming upstream in the music business is a hard thing to do.
John Oates

The thing is, we've changed our style but we've never changed the actual roots of what we've done.
John Oates

To me, when a great band is playing together, it's amazing for me.
John Oates

We collaborate together. We work with other people. We work by ourselves.
John Oates

"Shakira"

Because of you, I'm running out of reasons to cry.
Shakira

Everyone can know what is in my heart because I find it hard to conceal myself.
Shakira

I admire a person who, for the love of art, is able to take off their clothes in front of a camera. But I'm not capable, I'm too cowardly for that.
Shakira

I admire Madonna because she always did whatever she felt like doing. She went through some controversial periods when people rejected her, but she kept on reinventing herself.
Shakira

I always believed that women have rights and that there are some women that are intelligent enough to claim those rights. There are some others that are stupid enough not to.
Shakira

I am trying to make my accent so it won't bother anyone, but I am not going to drive myself crazy trying to pretend I am an American girl when I am from Colombia.
Shakira

I don't go out without make up. I'm a woman, you know.
Shakira

I pefer an ugly truth to a pretty lie. If someone is telling me the truth that is when I will give my heart.
Shakira

I want some day to be able to love with the same intensity and unselfishness that parents love their children with.
Shakira

I was unaware of the dispute in Brooklyn. I would never knowingly wear any clothes or support any company who produced clothing with alleged wage and labor violations.
Shakira

I'm Colombian and nothing will change that.
Shakira

In this life, to earn your place you have to fight for it.
Shakira

It doesn't bother me to talk about my private life, it doesn't bother me to talk about anything. My life is like a glass of water, transparent.
Shakira

My songs are the reflection of how I think and how I feel in that moment. But I'm conscious of the fact that artists have a responsibility before the masses and they have to take care with their words.
Shakira

My team and I have reunited two elements that coexist with difficulty: respect and affection, because when they love you they don't respect you and when they respect you they don't love you.
Shakira

Writing in English was a major challenge. I didn't want other songwriters to write for me. I wanted to preserve the spirit of my songs in Spanish. I am the same Shakira in English as I am in Spanish.
Shakira

Writing songs has a therapeutic effect, and it either kills off love or wins the heart of the lover.
Shakira

You're a song written by the hands of God.
Shakira

Stan Laurel

Another fine mess you've gotten me into.
Stan Laurel

I had a dream that I was awake and I woke up to find myself asleep.
Stan Laurel

If anyone at my funeral has a long face, I'll never speak to him again.
Stan Laurel

If you had a face like mine, you'd punch me right on the nose, and I'm just the fella to do it.
Stan Laurel

You can lead a horse to water, but a pencil must be led.
Stan Laurel

Drew Barrymore

A fish may love a bird, but where would they live?
Drew Barrymore

Daisies are like sunshine to the ground.
Drew Barrymore

Everyone is like a butterfly, they start out ugly and awkward and then morph into beautiful graceful butterflies that everyone loves.
Drew Barrymore

God made a very obvious choice when he made me voluptuous; why would I go against what he decided for me? My limbs work, so I'm not going to complain about the way my body is shaped.
Drew Barrymore

I am obsessed with ice cubes. Obsessed.
Drew Barrymore

I aspire to be that, to be a voice of reason one day.
Drew Barrymore

I definitely don't think that I'm hot doo-doo. I don't.
Drew Barrymore

I don't know anybody's road who's been paved perfectly for them, there are no manuals, you don't know what life has in store for you.
Drew Barrymore

I don't want to be stinky poo poo girl, I want to be happy flower child.
Drew Barrymore

I love romance. I'm a sucker for it. I love it so much. It's pathetic.
Drew Barrymore

I never act my characters - I am them.
Drew Barrymore

I never regret anything. Because every little detail of your life is what made you into who you are in the end.
Drew Barrymore

I never want to get to the point where it's all about my needs, and the hell with anybody else.
Drew Barrymore

I pray to be like the ocean, with soft currents, maybe waves at times. More and more, I want the consistency rather than the highs and the lows.
Drew Barrymore

I really want to understand the mind so I can be more comfortable with the way people are. Being comfortable with people is incredibly important.
Drew Barrymore

I used to look in the mirror and feel shame, I look in the mirror now and I absolutely love myself.
Drew Barrymore

I want people to be blown away when I do what they don't expect.
Drew Barrymore

I want people to love me, but it's not going to hurt me if they don't.
Drew Barrymore

I'm not after fame and success and fortune and power. It's mostly that I want to have a good job and have good friends; that's the good stuff in life.
Drew Barrymore

I'm so in control of my life, you shouldn't dislike anything I do-because I'm not only in the best place I've ever been, but it keeps getting better and better.
Drew Barrymore
