I was really kind of shy as a child. But I would do things for attention.
I would wear flamboyant clothes and long hair, and most singers at the time didn't.
I look back on my life, comin' out of Macon, Georgia - I never thought I'd be a superstar, a living legend. I never heard of no rock and roll in my life.
It's not the size of the ship; it's the size of the waves.
I've never seen the devil create music.
I try to be a guide for people, to make their darkness bright and to make the pathway light, and never to condemn or control or criticize.
