The sad truth is that opportunity doesn't knock twice.

You can put things off until tomorrow but tomorrow may never come.

To know that everything we say and do to this new little human being may have a profound effect on him or her is a daunting obligation.

I'd love to have a program like 'Dr. Laura.' I studied psychology at the University of Miami, and when I rode the bus home from school, perfect strangers would strike up conversations with me and end up telling me their life stories. I think they could sense that I was studying to help people. That, or I have a face like a priest.

Wherever there's a human being there's going to be somebody that tries to hold you back.

It's not so much for me where you come from, who you are, what race you are. We're just human beings that are still a work in progress and there's a lot that we've got to overcome, so that we can all be equal.

I was going to be a doctor, but I think my music allowed me to help more people than I could have done one-on-one as a psychologist. Just like other people's music really helped me.
