I never heard nobody in my audience call me any kind of names.

I've never seen the devil create music.

No, I've never truly been a minister.

I decided to come back and teach goodness in this business. To teach love, because music is the universal language. We are God's bouquet, and through music we become one.

It's not the size of the ship; it's the size of the waves.

I did what I felt, and I felt what I did, at all costs.

I am the innovator. I am the originator. I am the emancipator. I am the architect of rock 'n' roll!
