I find myself going out on the road to get my confidence back, because I lose it at home.
Lionel Richie

Lionel Richie, love song, OK, thank you very much, good-bye. And all of a sudden I realized that, in my career, what has made my career has always been the surprises.
Lionel Richie
Image
I'm a songwriter, and people will tell you the greatest stories about their lives, whether you want to hear it or not.
Lionel Richie
Image
The best compliment that has ever been given to me was, I was at the airport one day and a guy came in and said, 'Lionel, my wife loves you, the kids love you, my mother-in-law loves you, the family loves you.
Lionel Richie
Image
I always like to challenge myself. I never want to be put into a box.
Lionel Richie

People, as critical as it looks, we're OK. We are in control, whether we feel it or not.
Lionel Richie

When will we ever learn, there's nowhere else we can turn.

I don't think I'm going to be priest material.

Country music has always been about as close to R&B as you can possibly get. We're storytellers.
Lionel Richie

Forget about surviving 40 years in the music business. Just surviving 27 years of Nicole Richie has been a struggle-and-a-half, I want to tell you. I stand here as a survivor, I want you to know, for all the parents out there.
Lionel Richie

Country is bringing in a little rock element... a little '80s element. Melody is king now. But its just in the music, its not so much in the songwriting, which is still very basic to the storytelling aspect of it.

Forget about 40 years in show business. Just surviving 27 years of Nicole Richie is enough.
Lionel Richie
Image
I just like people. I'll hold a conversation at a gas station. It's not about the fame and the fortune, I just like people.
Lionel Richie
Image
I just had to find all my friends that used to be in the business. As I say, the music business didn't die, it just moved to Nashville.
Lionel Richie
Image
I grew up with the Grand Ole Opry, Dottie West, Conway Twitty, Buck Owens... not realizing it was influencing me as much as it was.
Lionel Richie
Image
Believe me, I love commerce as much as the rest of the readers of 'Businessweek.' But in art, you have to be true to yourself and your musical vision. People have known me well for a long time, so if I was chasing a trend and doing something that wasn't authentic to who I am, they would know it in just a few seconds.

Your kids can say some cruel things to you at times. For example, Nicole, Miles and Sofie are standing there in the room and I'm dressed to kill in my own mind. They'll say to me, 'Dad, you're not going out there looking like that are you?' If that doesn't kill a star, I don't know what does!
Lionel Richie

I think the whole world is dying to hear someone say, 'I love you.' I think that if I can leave the legacy of love and passion in the world, then I think I've done my job in a world that's getting colder and colder by the day.
Lionel Richie

The music business was not safe, but it was FUN. It was like falling in love with a woman you know is bad for you, but you love every minute with her, anyway.

Traveling did a great deal to me. I found that when I travel and just sit in the corner and watch, a million ideas come to me.
