More quotes by Barry Manilow
QVC has been very good to me.
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 am a musician. My passion for music has obliterated everything in its path for my entire life.
Barry Manilow
No one person or material thing could ever come close to the feeling I get when the music is right.
Barry Manilow
The dark night of the soul for me was one night in Florida, when I had been on the road for about four years and I realized that everybody around me was on my payroll, that my old friends hadn't been in touch with me and my family didn't know where to get me. I was a very unhappy guy and it was because I was really alone.
Barry Manilow
I've always wanted to marry Elton John.
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.
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
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
I am a musician. My passion for music has obliterated everything in its path for my entire life. Whenever there was a choice between music and anything else, music won hands down every time. No one person or material thing could ever come close to the feeling I get when the music is right.
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
I think my music is like anchovies - some people like it, some people get nauseous.
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
Misfits aren't misfits among other misfits.
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
I didn't want to be treated like a 'star.' I fought it constantly, and I think I was rude.
Barry Manilow
'If I Should Love Again' - I was just so impressed with myself writing something like that. It wasn't a single and people didn't really know about it, but it's a beautiful song and that's part of what I'm loving.
Barry Manilow
I think the people who are out there for fame get themselves in a lot of trouble.
Barry Manilow
Touring is a young man's game, but after 30 years of it, I want to stay home.
Barry Manilow
I stay glued to my piano and my work. I don't look up. I write, I produce, I do the next project, I do my job. I don't look up, and I try to be kind. I try to be kind to people. That's what I do.
Barry Manilow
