Zitat des Tages von Kenny Rogers:
Well, I don't think everything necessarily that I touch turns to gold, but I think I get great joy out of it regardless of whether it is successful or not.
I think when you're in the public eye, you feel a pressure to stay younger looking.
There is a trade off - as you grow older you gain wisdom but you lose spontaneity.
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.
If you want people to know what your message is, just sing it.
Growing older is not upsetting; being perceived as old is.
Radio is aimed at the 30-year-old market, so you have to have great music and appeal to get that age group. And you need a record company to believe in you. It's like a bit of the perfect storm.
I've always said that gray hair looks good on everybody but yourself. To me, it makes me look old.
Don't be afraid to give up the good for the great.
I just hope I can spread some of the happiness that's been coming my way.
You know, when you're poor and you have a bunch of kids in your family, you don't know that everybody's not poor.
I have awards right now that I do not remember walking on stage to get.
I feel like I learn something from everything I do.
I'm much more comfortable singing than talking.
You know, I think the greatest gift in the world is a good employee, you know, or people who can do your work for you and do it well the way you'd like to have it done. And I've always been able to surround myself with really good people.
The first six years of my career, I got more comments on my weight than on my singing. So I think I became so self-conscious that I started working on it harder.
There's a new hit rock group or singer every five minutes, but with country music, you have one hit and those people love you forever.
I've always said music should make you laugh, make you cry or make you think.
I think it's fun to play for people who don't know what you do.
