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
No one person or material thing could ever come close to the feeling I get when the music is right.
Barry Manilow
Here's proof that if you live long enough, anything is possible.
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've always wanted to marry Elton John.
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
The public needs to know - they need to know as much about atrial fibrillation as they do about cancer and diabetes.
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
My hair was slicked down with a part. But that was before I discovered the blow-dryer. Now I'm fabulous.
Barry Manilow
You say something stupid and the next morning you're in the headlines.
Barry Manilow
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.
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
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 didn't want to be treated like a 'star.' I fought it constantly, and I think I was rude.
Barry Manilow
I think my music is like anchovies - some people like it, some people get nauseous.
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
QVC has been very good to me.
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
My goal was always to be involved in music that would outlive me. And maybe that's actually happening.
Barry Manilow
For a Jewish guy, I've recorded a lot of Christmas albums.
Barry Manilow
I think the people who are out there for fame get themselves in a lot of trouble.
