It's not how much you have that makes people look up to you, it's who you are.

Truth is like the sun. You can shut it out for a time, but it ain't goin' away.

In this day and time you can't even get sick; you are strung-out! Well by God, I'll tell you something, friend: I have never been strung-out in my life, except on music!

There are too many people that depend on me. I'm too obligated. I'm in too far to get out.

In public, I like real conservative clothes, something that's not too flashy. But onstage, I like 'em as flashy as you can get 'em.

The greatest voice of all time.

Man, I was tame compared to what they do now. Are you kidding? I didn't do anything but just jiggle.
