I travel around the world, experiencing every language, every religion… some places where theres just no reason to smile, because their lives are so difficult. – Lionel Richie
Your kids can say some cruel things to you at times. For example, Nicole, Miles and Sofie are standing there in the room and Im dressed to kill in my own mind. Theyll say to me, Dad, youre not going out there looking like that are you? If that doesnt kill a star, I dont know what does! – Lionel Richie
Kids will keep it real. If Ive ever had in my life a great anchor, its them. They get in your head, dont get too famous. If you think youre really famous and think youre really hip, go hang out with your kids for an afternoon. Thats about as earthbound as its going to get. – Lionel Richie
Greatness comes from fear. Fear can either shut us down and we go home, or we fight through it. – Lionel Richie
I was 21 in 1968, so Im as much a child of the 60s as is possible to be. In those years the subject of religion had really almost disappeared the idea that religion was going to be a major force in the life of our societies, in the West anyway, would have seemed absurd in 1968. – Salman Rushdie
