Please, I don't want anybody to think I'm starving, I'm not. My health is perfect, actually.

Sometimes when you're treated unfairly it makes you stronger and more determined. I admire that kind of strength. People who have it take a stand and put their blood and soul into what they believe.

I said if you're thinkin' of being my brother, it don't matter if you're black or white.

I've forgotten many things, but I'll never forget a melody.

Lift your head up high, and scream to the world. I know I am someone, and let the truth unfurl.

I know a tree feels it when the wind blows through it. It probably goes, 'Chhhhhh, this is wonderful.' And that's how I feel when I'm singing some songs. It's wonderful.

I don't think I'm better than other people, I think I'm different from other people, because I do different things.
