Fats Waller

A little bit independent in your walk. A little bit independent in your talk. There’s nothing like you in Paris or New York. You’re awfully easy on the eyes.

If you don’t know what it is, don’t mess with it.

I love you, yes I do, I love you. If you break my heart I’ll die. So be sure it’s true when you say I love you It’s a sin to tell a lie.

This heart of mine could never see what everybody knew but me

Take it easy, be a sport. Just remeber life is short.

Whenever I’m with you alone. You weave a magic spell and though it be a danger zone. I only know that you’re swell.

The good Lord doesn’t tell you what His plan is, so all you can do is get up in the morning and see what happens next.

I’m the type to swallow my blood ‘fore I swallow my pride.

The first album I ever got was “Like a Virgin”. It was during the Iran Contra conflict-I thought she was saying, “Like a Persian”.

When you’re thirty-five, you can’t take as much booze … and I always got a little violent on drink…So it was kind of self-destructive suicide side of me, which is resolving itself for the better, I believe, because I never enjoyed it…

It’s more egalitarian on the Internet – anyone can put anything up. But in terms of the money it takes to allow a band to get good, there’s less of it to invest.

There’s not much room for eccentricity in Hollywood, and eccentricity is what’s sexy in people.

The craziest thing I’ve ever done to get a guy’s attention? I admit I stalked someone. I showed up at a restaurant where I knew the guy worked, and we were actually good friends and had lost touch, and I pretended that I didn’t know he worked there. And then ran into him and, “Oh my God, you work here? I had no idea.” It’s the most manipulative thing I’ve done in my entire life, but it all worked out very well, so I have no regrets.

Be different, stand out, and work your butt off.

I always thought that was so strange that people would try to corral you and pigeonhole you in one category and not play you anywhere else.

I love connecting with people, playing games, music and finding ways to help or give back to communities/organizations…Having my own talk show where I get to do all of these things is pretty much a dream job!

We all know what it feels like to be an outcast or a loner or to fall between the cracks. To be the target of gossip or people talking about you, or girls are ganging up on you. One minute, they’re your best friend; the next, they call you on three-way.

We drove for the sheer fun of driving because there wasn’t that much money to be made.

It’s fun to do a comedy and hook people in and then hoodwink them into watching a serious movie. I like to lead in with the comedy and then hit them over the head with a drama.

I love the people here. I love New York.

I want to experience Dallas. It’s a new city where I see new business opportunities.
