Otis Williams Quotes

«Bill Mitchell said he really liked it. But when he asked the other four their opinions, we all took one look at ourselves in our raggedy long winter coats and cracked up. We knew we weren't likely to tempt anyone or anything, but what the hell, it was as good a name as any.»
«I've learned over the years that people are human and have mood swings, regardless of how talented they are. Today, I'm looking at life from a realistic point of view instead of the way I would want things to be.»
«We've been performing with symphonies all of our career and it sounds so wonderful when they play 'My Girl' with the large string section, I want to turn around and look.»
«The Tempts have always been known for great lead singers. Today we have three of the greatest leads in the proud history of the group.»
«I'm not impressed with the state of music and the lyrics, guys on stage grabbing their Johnson. That's why people still cling to (old) Motown. It's music they can listen to with their kids.»
«It's a terrible situation, but you just have to roll with the punches. I don't worry about it. There's nothing you can do about it.»
«[There isn't much anyone can do about pump-related pain except grin and bear it, said Otis Williams of Benicia.] It's a terrible situation, but you just have to roll with the punches, ... I don't worry about it. There's nothing you can do about it.»
«Motown is the soundtrack of our lives. These are songs we have always wanted to do, and now, happily, we have had a chance to do them.»
«That's one of the things the Tempts have always been, experimental. We decided ... to sit down and come up with using some great songs from the famous Motown catalog and put our spin on some iconic kind of songs that have turned out to be such monster standards in their own right.»
«It's a pleasure and honor to be here, knowing what y'all have been through.»
