Johnny Mathis Quotations

Even though there's no forum for me on the radio for the kind of music I sing anymore, I am still excited about having a career where I can sing the best music in the world, and people will come and hear me because of the hit records I've had in the past.

It's very much like opera singers. They do the same thing. The first thing in the morning and the last thing at night, the thing they think about is their voice and how to take care of it.

I also met, early on Ella Fitzgerald. Her songbooks are some of the most amazing bodies of work.

I'm just one of the lucky people. I have no other reason for my longevity.

I really, really enjoy music and that's why I do what I do.

I think there are a lot of people who really want to be famous, they really do. I don't. It sort of gets in the way of the everyday things that I do.

Sometimes being famous gets in the way of doing what you want to do.

Too much, too little, too late, to ever try again. Too much, too little, too late, let's end it being friends.

Let's love, press your lips to mine. Let's kiss, for that thrill divine.

Walk my way and a thousand violins begin to play, or it might be the sound of your hello.
