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.

More quotes by Barry Manilow
I come from nowhere Brooklyn, New York. Williamsburg, Brooklyn. These days Williamsburg is kind of a hip area, but when I grew up there, the taxi drivers wouldn't even go over the bridge, it was so dangerous.
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
QVC has been very good to me.
Barry Manilow
Touring is a young man's game, but after 30 years of it, I want to stay home.

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
My goal was always to be involved in music that would outlive me. And maybe that's actually happening.
Barry Manilow
You say something stupid and the next morning you're in the headlines.
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
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 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
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
My hair was slicked down with a part. But that was before I discovered the blow-dryer. Now I'm fabulous.
Barry Manilow
The public needs to know - they need to know as much about atrial fibrillation as they do about cancer and diabetes.
Barry Manilow
Here's proof that if you live long enough, anything is possible.

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
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
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
I've always wanted to marry Elton John.
Barry Manilow
No one person or material thing could ever come close to the feeling I get when the music is right.
