King: "My creativity is an entity unto its own."
King: "When I was younger, I was kind of fearless. I think it takes more courage to do things when you know more. I was completely naive, and I was like, 'Why can't I do anything I want to do?'"
King: "My life has been a tapestry of rich and royal hue, an everlasting vision of the ever changing view."
King: "All I needed to do was sing with conviction, speaking my truth from the heart, honestly and straightforwardly, and to offer my words, ideas and music to the audience as if it were one collective friend that I'd known for a very long time."
King: "Sensitive, humbug. Everybody thinks I'm sensitive. Wait until they hear my new album."
King: "Everybody understands friendship, and friendship is different than love - it's a different kind of love. Friendship has more freedom, more latitude. You don't expect your friend to be as you think your friend should be; you expect your friend just to love you as a friend."
King: "I only wanted to be a songwriter. I never wanted to be a singer. And I never wanted to be famous."
King: "I think Madonna has a great deal of intelligence and capability. I have a lot of respect for her. She's taken her career and maximized it with intelligence and creativity."
King: "The downside of videos is that it will put my vision in front of other people, so they might not get the chance to create their own."
King: "My name at birth was Carol Joan Klein. It would take me five decades to appreciate my surname and the history that came with it. Along the way, I would add an 'e' to Carol and acquire several more surnames."
King: "I used to hate the sound of my voice."
King: "When I wake up every morning, I smile and say, 'Thank you.' Because out of my window I can see the mountains, then go hiking with my dog and share her bounding joy in the world."
King: "I just sort of try to be a good person; try to write music that lifts people and makes me feel good to sing."
King: "I've had a remarkable life. I seem to be in such good places at the right time. You know, if you were to ask me to sum my life up in one word, gratitude."
King: "My parents always told me I could be anything I wanted to be."
