Flattery is all right so long as you don't inhale.
I can spot empty flattery and know exactly where I stand. In the end it's really only my own approval or disapproval that means anything.
I know imitation is the highest form of flattery, but stealing one's identity is totally different.
Rapping can be repetition sometimes. Sometimes you gotta highlight your words in a certain kind of way. So I always was a fan of sing-rapping. It was always funny to me a little bit, and I think that being funny and being able to laugh, even at yourself, is a form of flattery.
None are more taken in by flattery than the proud, who wish to be the first and are not.
Sheer flattery got me into the theater. Flattery always works with me, particularly the flattery of women.
The flattery is nice, but awards don't add up to writing quality songs.
Whenever somebody folds, say, 'Good laydown.' It encourages them to fold on a later hand because it makes them feel like you had the best hand even if you were bluffing. It's an odd form of flattery that seems to work at the poker table.
The best form of flattery is to be admired, imitated or respected. I've always felt proud our fans look up to us or feel we are inspirational.
I think people ragging on me is kind of a form of flattery.
