Every few years, I go back into all the songs and I update them so that it never sounds like an oldies show. If you come to the shows, they're full of muscle. 'Copacabana' sounds like it could have been released yesterday.

More quotes by Barry Manilow
Yeah, I'm old as the hills and you would think I'd be out to pasture someplace because I've done everything, but nothing has changed.
Barry Manilow
What we hear now is great-sounding records with great-sounding grooves and loops. And the sound of these records is irresistible, but the craft of songwriting is just about over. That's why, whenever I get an opportunity to do an album full of standards, I jump at it because I miss it.
Barry Manilow
I've always wanted to marry Elton John.
Barry Manilow
My hair was slicked down with a part. But that was before I discovered the blow-dryer. Now I'm fabulous.
Barry Manilow
I've been up, down, trying to get the feeling again. All around, trying to get the feeling again. The one that makes me shiver, made my knees start to quiver.
Barry Manilow
Misfits aren't misfits among other misfits.
Barry Manilow
The melody seems to have gone to the country. The country music seems to still have melody and interesting lyrics. But pop music, you've got to really listen hard to somebody who's doing a good melody and a good lyric.
Barry Manilow
You know, when I did 'American Idol' the three times, I tried to tell these kids you have to tell the story of the lyric.
Barry Manilow
You say something stupid and the next morning you're in the headlines.
Barry Manilow

Barry Manilow
I am a musician. My passion for music has obliterated everything in its path for my entire life.
Barry Manilow
I didn't want to be treated like a 'star.' I fought it constantly, and I think I was rude.
Barry Manilow
QVC has been very good to me.
Barry Manilow
I believe that we are who we choose to be. Nobody is going to come and save you. You've got to save yourself. Nobody is going to give you anything. You've got to go out and fight for it.
Barry Manilow
Touring is a young man's game, but after 30 years of it, I want to stay home.
Barry Manilow
No one person or material thing could ever come close to the feeling I get when the music is right.
Barry Manilow
We've made mistakes, But we've made good friends too. Remember all the nights we spent with them? And all our plans, Who says they can't come true? Tonight's another chance to start again. It's just another New Year's Eve, Another night like all the rest.
Barry Manilow
Keep your family and old friends around you. That's what I had done and that's what saved my life when it came to being famous.
Barry Manilow
Here's proof that if you live long enough, anything is possible.
Barry Manilow
I was always into the music. Music, in general, saved my life. But the fame part... I would look up, see what was going on around me, the reporters and photographers and all, and then I would just go back to making my music.
