“Throughout my career, if I have done anything, I have paid attention to every note and every word I sing - if I respect the song. If I cannot project this to a listener, I fail.”

“Your reputation is none of your business.”

“We have no right to express an opinion until we know all of the answers.”

“Self-actualized people are independent of the good opinion of others.”
