My conservatory is in the streets. My intelligence is instinct.
I was hungry. I was cold. But I was also free. Free not to get up in the morning, not to go to bed at night, free to get drunk if I liked, to dream... to hope.
I don't lie; I improve on my life.
I'd like to see one person - just one - who would own up to having been a coward.
To sing is to bring to life; impossible if the words are mediocre, however good the music.
When you reach the top, you should remember to send the elevator back down for the others.
