I really know how to sing and create and put things together that entertain... be it controversially or be it from music or acting.

Whenever you have publicity, it's always a good thing.

Taking your time with music is real important to me.

Everything I promote and sell, I use on a daily or I wouldn't sell it.

In real business, there's spiritual success and then there's facts and just hard work and making sure you're on point with the product.

When you're a parent, you spend time with the baby. You look at the baby's face and envision her future and what you have to do as a parent to make sure she's financially good and that she's comfortable inside of the family and that she's positive and learning every day.

I don't put my hands on women.

Bad girls are a little more aggressive at times than other girls, so they get what they want and sometimes they take what they want.

I think the way you prevent your man from cheating on you is to just have a good understanding about who he is first. If you know that the guy you're with is a player and he's already kind of living the life, you know what you're getting yourself into. You have to be real with yourself.

Every relationship I was in, I loved the girl. It's just the moral values and standards was off. I was loving and lying.

When I was a teenager I didn't really care about music especially with my sister being so successful, I was able to experience it through her.

I can't be like Brandy. I have to be me.

I wanted to give people songs like 'Wait a Minute' and 'Formal Invite' for the club, and I also wanted to get real serious and show them my versatility.

Music will always be my first love, but it was time to diversify into something that had the ability to really create a financial legacy.

I know what it's like to grow up in Hollywood.

After 'Raymond,' there was this big feeling of, 'What do I do next?'

The successful golfers - they're like astronauts or pilots. They have that demeanor that they can focus and stay within that one moment and nothing distracts them. That's not me.

I do still get intimidated by certain things.

You know, a TV show is a slow build.

I can't complain about my career, that's for sure.

My kids are growing up and it's hard to accept they are their own person and they're independent.

My career has been my craziest adventure.

I didn't want to have to follow 'Everybody Loves Raymond' with another sitcom. Let it be my sitcom legacy, and leave it at that.

I never want to give up stand-up. Because I still get a thrill out of it.

I'm at an age where crying is easier for me now. I like it. I can cry at a poignant commercial; I can cry at a - this is a running joke in my house, but... a good 'Star-Spangled Banner' can make me cry. I'm not kidding.

If I had never gotten famous or rich, I think I'd be equally neurotic.

I see the bad in everything I do.

In stand-up, there's that idea that comedy comes from a dark place, but it's not a rule.

I'm a 14 handicap. Anyone who golfs knows what that means. I shoot 90 to a hundred or, once in a while, 85.

I go to Hooters for lunch every day. Then for coffee.

When you're in the living room every week for nine years as one character, it's hard for some people to see you as someone else.

Anna would be just as happy with me if I were a plumber. As a matter of fact, when she married me, I was working at a bank and living at home. I didn't move out until I was 29!

If my father had hugged me even once, I'd be an accountant right now.

Everyone should have kids. They are the greatest joy in the world. But they are also terrorists. You'll realize this as soon as they're born, and they start using sleep deprivation to break you.

I realized I need to work. I need to be creative. As much as I have angst and anxiety, when I'm idle, it's even more. I have to keep moving. Otherwise, I catch up with myself.

As successful as it may appear I am, I don't really feel that. It's like, you know you've achieved some level of success, and you know what you've done, and yet you still feel you have more to do and more to prove.

Whenever I walk off the golf course, I thank God that I'm able to tell a joke. I thank God I'm good at something.

My hair was long - in my high school year book, I looked like an ugly David Cassidy.

The comics that are just conversing with you up there and drawing on their own life, yeah, I guess so. I guess some do political humor, some do topical humor, but the ones that I like, the ones that are appealing to me, were guys who were just talking to you about their life.

I feel like this is a dream - and I apologize for how I dressed some of you.

The first time I played golf was in Flushing Meadows, Queens, when I was about 16 or 17. They had an 18-hole pitch-and-putt. My buddies and I would hop the fence and sneak on and play.

You know, before I would think, my cab driver hates me. Now I think my limo driver hates me.

I do what I do because I love it.

I'm always giving myself the Alzheimer's test. My shrink told me to do this. It takes one minute. You name every word that comes to mind that begins with the letter F.

In school, I wasn't a very good student - I was very irresponsible and never did the studying but always liked to get the laugh.

My joke used to be about my father and Peter Boyle: that anything you see Peter Boyle do on TV, my father has done in real life without pants on.

I married a saint - well, a saint who curses.

I was wracked with insecurity.

My wife gets all the money I make. I just get an apple and clean clothes every morning.

I don't watch 'Mad Men.'
