Cynthia's lyrics always expressed the feelings people felt but they couldn't express themselves.
Barry Mann

We became the songs we wrote.
Barry Mann

If we didn't get the record, we didn't exist.
Barry Mann

If we were the team that won out, then life was good and we felt that we were worth something.
Barry Mann

You've got to really be able to accept the rejection.
Barry Mann

Barry Mann

You're going to have more rejection than acceptance.
