Quotes

There is a trade off - as you grow older you gain wisdom but you lose spontaneity.

Growing older is not upsetting; being perceived as old is.

You gotta know when to hold 'em, know when to fold 'em, know when to walk away, know when to run.

Don't be afraid to give up the good to go for the great.

Working with Dolly [Parton] is a great rush for me because we are good friends, and we have been, forever. We just flirted a lot. I can't explain it, but flirting is more electric than passion. It's the anticipation. She does it better than anybody I've ever seen, and it's just good fun.

You know, I've always said, I've never felt I was a particularly good singer, but I've always thought I had a great knack for picking hit songs.

I'm so totally future oriented that, for me, I don't know what the future's about, but I can promise you it's gonna be exciting.
