Clive Davis Quotes

Having lost both my parents as a teenager, family is so important to me, and I cherish my time with my children and grandchildren. I have four children, and they all became lawyers - as I was myself before I got into music Picture Quote #1

I have total respect for the self-contained rock artist. Whether you’re dealing with Jerry Garcia or Lou Reed or Patti Smith or a Whitney or an Aretha, they know what they want with their career Picture Quote #1

You see the genius that Whitney Houston has as an interpreter of material, and you realize why genius can be applied to only a few interpretive performers. She finds meaning and depth and soulfulness in a song that often the writer and composer never really knew was there Picture Quote #1

I’m the keeper of the flame for Whitney Houston. She was the greatest... and I don’t want the world to forget that Picture Quote #1

I am passionate about music and my work to the bottom of my very soul, but I also very much enjoy good clothes and some of the finer things in life. Rappers do, too, and perhaps it’s one of the reasons I’ve been welcomed so warmly into their world Picture Quote #1

You don’t have favorites among your offspring, and you don’t among the artists you’re involved with, but clearly among my most favorite was Patti Smith Picture Quote #1

After my second marriage failed... I said, ‘You know, could I have a relationship with a man? A loving relationship with a man that would involve intimacy?’ For a while, before I did get into a relationship, I saw, for a few years, either women or men. And I found that I could be attracted to both Picture Quote #1

It’s not for me to determine what a country artist has in common with a hip-hop artist. You go for those with long-lasting careers. And that’s what I’ve had as my target all my life Picture Quote #1

I feel that contemporary music, with very few exceptions, is missing the voice. You see an award show, you see a hundred extras on set dancing and special effects, and you don’t see that solo voice that was the trademark of Adele. It’s no accident that it was her album that ended up selling 27 million copies worldwide Picture Quote #1

I encourage the study of music. And the immersion. ‘Cause my life has been so enriched by being involved in music as I have Picture Quote #1

My years with Aretha Franklin have been very special, as were the years making records with Dionne Warwick. Other highlights include working with Janis Joplin, who was the first artist I ever signed, as well as Patti Smith and Alicia Keys Picture Quote #1

My introduction of Whitney was that if there’s going to be one performer for the next generation who combined the beauty and lyric phrasing of a Lena Horne with those Gospel fiery roots of an Aretha Franklin, it would be Whitney Houston Picture Quote #1

It is only occasional that talent becomes genius - radiating sparks, brilliance, energy, and charismatic magnetism... such a talent was Janis Joplin Picture Quote #1

You’ve got to seize the opportunity if it is presented to you Picture Quote #1

The subject of bisexuality really needs much more discussion. Its a status that does exist Picture Quote #1

I never stopped being attracted to women. Bisexuality is misunderstood; the adage is that you’re either straight or gay or lying, but that’s not my experience. To call me anything other than bisexual would be inaccurate Picture Quote #1

You look for stars. You look for the makeup of artists who can have long lasting careers and who could be headliners Picture Quote #1
