Quote

I gave it all that I had, and it's gratifying that others seem to be receiving it so well.

I have gotten more than I asked for. All that I ever wanted was to hear my voice on record and have a song among the Top 20.

I've been given so much, and if I can just give back a tenth of what I've been given, then it's all worth it.

I always want to give more than I gave yesterday.

You've got to give more than you take.

I feel like I've gotten more than a lot of people will ever get. I feel very fortunate.

You give before you get.

When you give, you receive.

I sometimes wonder how many of these lifetime achievement awards you can accept before you have to do the decent thing and die.

I used to get, like, 2,000 letters a week at one point.
