Anger destroys your soul.

Jesus left a long time ago, said he would return. He left us a book to believe in, in it we've got an awful lot to learn.

I don't make records for pleasure. I did when I was a younger artist, but I don't today. I record so that I can feed people what they need, what they feel. Hopefully, I record so that I can help someone overcome a bad time

I'd been studying the microphone for a dozen years, and I suddenly saw what I'd been doing wrong. I'd been singing too loud. One night I was listening to a record by Lester Young, the horn player, and it came to me. Relax, just relax. It's all going to be all right.

Don't you know how sweet and wonderful life can be?

To share is precious, pure and fair. Don't play with something you should cherish for life. Don't you wanna care, ain't it lonely out there?

Crime is increasing, trigger happy policing. Panic is spreading, God knows where we're heading.
