Of course, there will be few PEOPLE who are sympathetic but you don't become a great team OVERNIGHT, no matter how much MONEY you have at your disposal.

Someone might look like an OVERNIGHT SUCCESS, but there's a lot of hard work that goes into it, and rightfully so. That's the WAY it should be. There are exceptions to that rule, but in country MUSIC, PEOPLE really have to pay their dues.

By bringing about a rational drug policy, we'd be freeing up a lot of resources for real crime. Drug disputes WOULD get played out with COURTS rather than with GUNS. So it would make this COUNTRY a much better place overnight.

I keep my EARS open. The world can change overnight; that's what happens in this world. You NEVER know. You have to keep your EYES and ears open. If you can't keep up, you ain't gonna CATCH up. I've been making records since 1953, and you just have to keep up.

The fact that we define ourselves by our roles can be an ADMIRABLE thing - it's how we build a life and MAKE a living. But it's also precarious. Roles CHANGE. SOMETIMES OVERNIGHT.

Just because a black man is running the RNC doesn't MEAN black folks are going to, 'Oh, OK, I will be a Republican.' Just as with the election of President Obama. All the PROBLEMS and concerns that are very IMPORTANT to African Americans don't get solved overnight.

I don't BELIEVE in BECOMING FAMOUS OVERNIGHT.

It's REALLY important that young people REALISE very RARELY do you become an overnight SUCCESS.

One is that the PERFECT GARDEN can be CREATED OVERNIGHT, which it can't.

The most overwhelming factor was BECOMING a MOTHER. The entire PERSPECTIVE of LIFE changes overnight.

My SUCCESS was PRETTY OVERNIGHT.

My overnight success was really 15 years in the MAKING. I'd been WRITING SONGS SINCE I was 6 and playing in bands and performing since I was 14.

There is no SUBSTITUTE for HARD work. There is no such thing as an overnight SUCCESS or EASY money.
