Darlene Love Quotes

What my home life is like now is great.

I wouldn't rule out L.A. life, but I love England. I have a lovely house and nice garden, I walk my kids to school - family is most important to me.

I know that no business contract, no order or commercial consideration can ever be worth the happiness of one's home or the peace of one's mind.

I've got this great home life I want to keep living, and I don't want to neglect it.

I would have hated to been locked into music for the last 20 years and not been able to have a family.

I never wanted to be a star, and I don't really want to be famous. I just love the stability of my life. I'm a complete family guy.

My life is really quite conservative. I've been married nearly 50 years. I don't have hobbies or children. I don't much care to travel. I've never had a big social life. I really just stay home, except when I go to work.

I'm quite private. And I never wanted to be the biggest star in the world, really. So in that sense I've got a good balance of doing great shows, of making an appearance every now and then and writing music, and I don't really have to do much else.

No affairs for me. It is so wonderful to have a family to come home to, to sit with them, pull each other's legs... To lose all of that for what? Who's got the time? I'm having great fun working.

I work and come home and just have a type of normal home life. It's what I've always wanted. I've never felt like I'm pressured into doing something and that I've got loads of responsibility.

Success doesn't drive me away from home.

I've got a home. I've got a wife. I've got everything I need.

We're very happy in Munich. I have my kids here. Everything is perfect.

I’m happily married. I’ve got more than enough to eat at home.

Grammys, American Music Awards, successful albums, I'd pick my kids any day over any of it.

I worked hard all my life as far as this music business. I dreamed of the day when I could go to New York and feel comfortable and they could come out here and be comfortable.

Happiness grows at our own firesides, and is not to be picked in strangers' gardens.

Well, I've had a lot of different experiences in music over the years. And not everything you do can satisfy everybody's idealised version of you.

All these interviews I'm doing - this is the kind of stuff that I was dreaming about doing when I was younger. I was praying for people to want to write about me. I wanted people to hear my music. I wanted to perform. I wanted to be on billboards.

I can't sing but I can understand wanting to keep a balance, trying to pursue dreams, while creating a stable environment for my children.

We make music for a living. Like I've always said, if you like what you're doing, you're halfway there; if someone else likes it, that's even better. If they don't like it, at least you like it. Not to be selfish, but you kind of have to be.

I knew what I wanted to be, but I didn't know exactly how to get there. I thought you move to Nashville, you sing downtown, and someone discovers you, and you become a country music star. I had no idea.

I don't really plan to be a pop star; I just want to be able to make music without the whole My Dad thing hanging over me, which everyone in my position goes through.

If I had to drop everything and just be a songwriter, I would be OK with that because that's the real joy.

I think, if you've got children, that's your life. Your 'showbiz' life, if you want to call it that, is a separate thing, and it isn't everything to me.
