There's no anger ever in a spiritual. There's always the dream of a hope of a better day coming. That God understands the troubles that I'm experiencing.

I was given a stethoscope in a child's 'doctor's bag' at about age six and I loved it! One could hear the heart beating through that plastic toy.

It is still more likely that a woman's power would be seen as aggression, and a man's power would be seen as assertion.

I am deeply spiritual; I revel in those things that make for good - the things that we can do to shed a little light, to help place an oft-dissonant universe back in tune with itself... Long live art, long live friendship, long live the joy of life!

A person has the right, and I think the responsibility, to develop all of their talents.

One needs more than ambition and talent to make a success of anything, really. There must be love and a vocation.
