I’m a strong person. I’m a warrior and I know what is inside of me.
Always appreciate the gift of life! Be happy and have fun!
I want people to hear or watch something I’ve done and feel that I’ve given it everything I’ve got.
I know who I am inside and outside, and I know what I want to do. And I will always go with my dreams.
Music is colorless. It’s for everybody, it’s for the world, it’s for everybody to enjoy.
I believe in doing better work. Just like the old saying, ‘You don’t get older, you get better’.
Entertainment is about taking people away from the regular order of things when there is some chaos and pain and stress.
I believe that all people living together in unity is one of the most important messages we can teach our children.
They hunt you. It’s terrible... They never think about how the person feels about what they write.
“In Africa,” S. B. once remarked, “if you do well, people close to you will hate you.”
As a wise man once said, ‘If not us, then who; if not now, then when?’
Love and help all the children, all the days of your existence. They need us.
My house is about equidistant from the Young’s brewery and the Fuller’s brewery. This is no accident.
I always had this yearning to give and help and make people feel better.
The magic, the wonder, the mystery and the innocence of a child’s heart are the seeds of creativity that will heal the world.
I never think about themes. I let the music create itself. I like it to be a potpourri of all kinds of sounds, all kinds of colors, something for everybody, from the farmer in Ireland to the lady who scrubs toilets in Harlem.
Children have taught me to always be forgiving.
Don’t blame it on the sunshine. Don’t blame it on the moonlight. Blame it on the boogie.
A lot of people misunderstand me. That’s because they don’t know me at all.
When I perform, I lose myself. I’m in total control of that stage. I don’t think about anything. I know what I want to do from the moment I step out there and I love every minute of it.
