![“I don't like being away from home. That's one reason why I don't work as much as I used to [when I started my career], because so many things are on the road.

I don't sing that much any more because that also takes you on the road.” quote by Jane Powell](https://sms4smile.com/quotes/img-quotes/07c/jane-powell-36243_away_i-don-t-like-being-away-from-home-that-s_278.jpg)
