May we continue to remember not to judge man by the color of his skin, but the content of his character.

If politicians can't do it, I want to do it. We have to do it. Artists, put it in paintings. Poets, put it in poems, novels. That's what we have to do. And I think it's so important to save the world.

If I'm not creating, I'm not as happy.

Follow the Golden Rule. Be kind to your neighbors, love them as much as you would love yourself, do unto others.

I really do wish people could understand me some day.

And that's what innocence is. It's simple and trusting like a child, not judgmental and committed to one narrow point of view. If you are locked into a pattern of thinking and responding, your creativity gets blocked. You miss the freshness and magic of the moment. Learn to be innocent again, and that freshness never fades.

I have a loving family, a strong faith and wonderful friends and fans who have, and continue, to support me.
