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
Greatness comes from fear. Fear can either shut us down and we go home, or we fight through it. – 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
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
I think I had kind of an advantage. When I was growing up, my dad had just got out of jail and he had a great record collection. He had – it was all – these were the songs. So I heard a lot of these songs, like, my whole life, so for me it was easy. I already knew what I was going to sing. – Chris Isaak
