I don't give the devil credit for creating nothing.

And I'd like to give my love to everybody, and let them know that the grass may look greener on the other side, but believe me, it's just as hard to cut.

But men are so full of greed today, they'll sell anything for a little piece of money.

I also like the banging piano - that old good-time piano.

Rock 'n' roll offered me a platform to speak what I felt. It also offered me a platform to support my mama and my brothers and sisters - twelve children.

I never accepted the idea that I had to be guided by some pattern or blueprint.

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.
