I'll put it out there: I love getting hugs.

They invented hugs to let people know you love them without saying anything.

I love hugging people. I still hug everybody in my meet-and-greet lines.

I have learned that there is more power in a good strong hug than in a thousand meaningful words.

Now, perfectly ordinary people will give each other hugs. I mean, it used to be that a hug was reserved for if you came back from Australia - you know, back in the '40s and '50s.

I get hugs all the time from strangers. I do believe that people can feel your persona when you perform live, but it is one of the nicest things if you can translate that on your records.

There's nothing like being hugged or held or just anything as simple as that.

I wanted a good relationship with my mother, and I realized I had a choice: Either I could spend all my time angry that she didn't give me the hugs I thought I needed, or I could understand that she hugs differently. It's not a spread-open-the-arms, 'come here' hug. She hugs by sheltering me from her worries.

He who hugs too much, hugs badly!
