“When Kanye gets to a point where he can actually put a couple of notes...” — Michael McDonald Quote

“When Kanye gets to a point where he can actually put a couple of notes together either vocally or two bars of valid music playing an instrument, then he might have a right to criticize somebody else.”

“I love Hank Williams songs, but I love hearing Ray Charles sing them much more.”

“I was attracted to black music for the same reason that I loved those old Irish ballads. Both were social statements of sorts, and both were indigenous to their respective cultures: Ireland, where my father had grown up, and towns like St. Louis along the Mississippi River, where I was growing up.”

“I just wanted to eat, to survive. I started singing a cappella in bars. I saved up money to get my first guitar and started writing songs.”

“When I was in the Senate, I worked to pass Women's Health and Wellness Act, which bars insurance companies from discriminating against the health care needs of women.”

“I build duets into bigger works. I like to see people working together. What we call a giant solo in my company is about four bars long while twenty other people are doing something dynamically. I like the charge that is set up by a lot of people doing something.”
