No one could understand the bond between me and my brother. I struggled to understand the forces that drove his soul in one direction and mine in another.

Mama tried to save us from the streets, but the streets were too strong.

There's people making babies to my music. That's nice.

We are all gods, all forces of nature. We can destroy, we can build. We are like oceans and like fires.

The women used the music to get their men to relate to them better: "talk to me, tell me what's on your mind." Men used the music to get the girls in the mood to make love. So either way you had it, Barry White is the one artist who actually was in your bedroom with you at your most sacred, sensuous moment of your life.

When I commit, I commit with my whole heart, my whole being. I know the Bible like the back of my hand.

Been making love for hours and, baby, we're still going strong. Girl, this night is ours and I swear I feel it coming on. All I know is when we get through, I ain't going to be able to move.
