I think that all creative people are a little bit nuts.

If you can read, you can find books on anything you want. You can self-educate even if you can't afford to go to school.

I don't like to get involved in things that I am not familiar with. I'm kind of a hands-on type of person.

I can't tell anybody else how to run their life or their business, but I really believe I've got a good bead on myself.

When I meet someone, I look at their eyes and their smile and seek out the good first - it's easy to find when you're looking for it. You let a person shine with their own light and try to connect it to yours. As soon as I say hello, I go right to that light and I don't care who you are! I know we're all pieces of the same thing - I go for that common light because I know it's in all of us.

Everybody has a purpose.

Cause I am strong and I can prove it And I got my dreams to see me through It's just a mountain, I can move it And with faith enough there's nothing I can't do And I can see the light of a clear blue morning And I can see the light of brand new day I can see the light of a clear blue morning And everything's gonna be all right It's gonna be okay [lyrics from "Light of a Clear Blue Morning"]
