I believe marriage is between a man and a woman. I am not in favor of gay marriage. But when you start playing around with constitutions just to prohibit somebody who cares about another person it just seems to me that's not what America's about. Usually our constitutions expand liberties they don't contract them.

The human brain starts working the moment you are born and never stops until you stand up to speak in public.

Never get married in college it's hard to get a start if a prospective employer finds you've already made one mistake.

Being divorced is like being hit by a Mack truck. If you live through it you start looking very carefully to the right and to the left.

There is hardly any activity any enterprise which is started out with such tremendous hopes and expectations and yet which fails so regularly as love.

I'll come and make love to you at five o'clock. If I'm late start without me.

When you start falling for somebody and you can't stop thinking about when you're going to see them again I love that. Women are beautiful. They deserve to be cherished and respected.

I love women but I feel like you can't trust some of them. Some of them are liars you know? Like I was in the park and I met this girl she was cute and she had a dog. And I went up to her we started talking. She told me her dog's name. Then I said 'Does he bite?' She said 'No.' And I said 'Oh yeah? Then how does he eat?' Liar.

When you love someone all your saved up wishes start coming out.

Somebody should tell us right at the start of our lives that we are dying. Then we might live life to the limit every minute of every day. Do it! I say. Whatever you want to do do it now! There are only so many tomorrows.

If you have no confidence in self you are twice defeated in the race of life. With confidence you have won even before you have started.

You leave old habits behind by starting out with the thought 'I release the need for this in my life'.

Every day is a new opportunity. You can build on yesterday's success or put its failures behind and start over again. That's the way life is with a new game every day and that's the way baseball is.

A chief event of life is the day in which we have encountered a mind that startled us.

Life is one grand sweet song so start the music.

To live is so startling it leaves little time for anything else.

We got a little waylaid along the way. The whole problem started about 10 years ago with management and legal battles then still trying to make albums while I was doing all of that.

When I started law school I was shocked to learn that our legal system traditionally had the man as the head and master of the family. As late as the '70s and '80s when we were fighting for the Equal Rights Amendment states like Louisiana still had a head and master law.

I like to start out each day from the beginning. I'm always learning things.

I didn't miss training because it had become so painful for me. I filled the void pretty quickly as I went straight into coaching and it was great I had to start learning all over again and then when I went into TV I knew nothing about it so I had to start from the very beginning.

Everything starts and ends with the song and working with writers and really learning their process and craft was an invaluable experience.

When I have the time at home I'll practice three or four hours a day. I have to. And I'm a late starter I started at age 17 and at age 51 I'm still learning.

I think kids slowly begin to realize that what they're learning relates to other things they know. Then learning starts to get more and more exciting.

I got started when I was 3 years old because my father was a music teacher and my lessons were free. Instead of learning to walk you learn to play the piano.
