I feel kind of like the black sheep in Congress, but here I am.

People have said to me, 'You can't write songs. You can't play an instrument.' But I've got 10 gold records.

Cher wanted to be an entertainer more than I've seen anybody want to be an entertainer in my life.

It was scary when the Beatles came on the scene. It was like an earthquake or a fire or an accident.

I'm not a lawyer, and maybe I should have used more specific legal language.

We all love the environment, but we have placed creatures above people. A rat is a rat.

What is qualified? What have I been qualified for in my life? I haven't been qualified to be a mayor. I'm not qualified to be a songwriter. I'm not qualified to be a TV producer. I'm not qualified to be a successful businessman. And so, I don't know what qualified means.

No matter how revolutionary something is, if you keep doing it over and over and over then it does loses it's excitement and it's high dynamics and people get used to ... get used to it like anything else you know um and then it just becomes a normal deal and then it becomes not very interesting at all.

I'm not homophobic, I'm not a bigot, I'm not pandering to hatred.

You've got to give someone like Cher a lot of credit. She's worked very hard to get where she is. I can't take that away from her.

With all due respect to lawyers, it's wonderful that you have this intricate knowledge. You break down words to the nth degree. And sometimes I find it rather disgusting. And it goes on and on.

People underestimate me, but I've always been a stretch runner.
