A lot of people think the blues is depressing but that's not the blues I'm singing. When I'm singing blues, I singing life. People can't stand to listen to the blues, they've got to be phonies.
I was surrounded by phonies. . . They were coming in the goddam window.
Most artists I know consider themselves to be phonies, along with the feeling that there's something that you're doing is essential, essential to communicate, and deeply, deeply real.
We're phonies if we're not exactly who we are.
Don't support the phonies, SUPPORT THE REAL
It shouldn't come as any surprise that those who choose acting as a profession are phonies who live in a fantasy world. What is surprising is how many of them are blissfully unaware of it.
The older you get, the easier it is to spot the phonies. And I just think, how unpleasant for them.
Never, never trust anyone who asks for white wine. It means they're phonies.
If you sat around there long enough and heard all the phonies applauding and all, you got to hate everybody in the world, I swear you did.
