I travel around the world, experiencing every language, every religion... some places where there's just no reason to smile, because their lives are so difficult.
Lionel Richie
'Let the music play on' would be my legacy.
Lionel Richie
All artists are egotistical maniacs with inferiority complexes.
Lionel Richie
I'm a songwriter, and people will tell you the greatest stories about their lives, whether you want to hear it or not.
Lionel Richie
I find the greatest songs in the world come out of pain, and I don't like it! Here's what it does: It strips away all of your facade. It makes you so honest. It's cleansing.
Lionel Richie
Taking time to sit back and watch and think about what you've seen is important. Traveling did a great deal to me. I found that when I travel and just sit in the corner and watch, a million ideas come to me.
Lionel Richie
When I was growing up, music was music and there were no genres. We didn't look at it as country music. Popular music in Tuskegee was country music. So I didn't know it in categories. It was the radio.
Lionel Richie
Lionel Richie, love song, OK, thank you very much, good-bye. And all of a sudden I realized that, in my career, what has made my career has always been the surprises.
Lionel Richie
People have allowed me into their homes, through my words and my music.
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 I'm dressed to kill in my own mind. They'll say to me, 'Dad, you're not going out there looking like that are you?' If that doesn't kill a star, I don't know what does!
Lionel Richie
I think the whole world is dying to hear someone say, 'I love you.' I think that if I can leave the legacy of love and passion in the world, then I think I've done my job in a world that's getting colder and colder by the day.
Lionel Richie
I find myself going out on the road to get my confidence back, because I lose it at home.
Lionel Richie
Just when I think it couldn't get any bigger, 'Tuskegee' reaches a new level of success.
Lionel Richie
Country is bringing in a little rock element... a little '80s element. Melody is king now. But its just in the music, its not so much in the songwriting, which is still very basic to the storytelling aspect of it.
Lionel Richie
Kids will keep it real. If I've ever had in my life a great anchor, it's them. They get in your head, 'don't get too famous.' If you think you're really famous and think you're really hip, go hang out with your kids for an afternoon. That's about as earthbound as it's going to get.
Lionel Richie
I grew up with the Grand Ole Opry, Dottie West, Conway Twitty, Buck Owens... not realizing it was influencing me as much as it was.
Lionel Richie
So much of my career has been about saying things the way people say them, using melodies not that I can sing but that the people can sing.
Lionel Richie
I just like people. I'll hold a conversation at a gas station. It's not about the fame and the fortune, I just like people.
Lionel Richie
People, as critical as it looks, we're OK. We are in control, whether we feel it or not.
Lionel Richie
Exactly when people are in turmoil is the time that the entertainment business has always been at its best. Because people don't want to be reminded every day that they are under siege, or that they're not having a great time of life.
Lionel Richie
