My music wasn't written by Mozart, Beethoven, Bach or Schubert. It's written by God and me. They go "a one and a two and up." We start on the downbeat. Bam! And that's where we got them.

I did the thing with bonds, which was about 30 million dollars, and didn't get none of the money on them.

I taught them everything they know, but not everything I know.

I've been held responsible for taxes I know nothing about.

I used to think like Moses. That knocked me down for a couple years and put me in prison. Then I start thinking like Job. Job waited and became the wealthiest and richest man ever 'cause he believed in God.

When I'm on stage, I'm trying to do one thing: bring people joy. Just like church does. People don't go to church to find trouble, they go there to lose it.

I'm kidding about having only a few dollars. I might have a few dollars more.
