All the forms of popular music from jazz to hip-hop, to bebop, to soul [come from black innovation]. You talk about different dances from the catwalk, to the jitterbug, to the Charleston, to break dancing -\-\ all these are forms of black dancing...What would [life] be without a song, without a dance, and joy and laughter, and music.

The fans don't know how much I love them so. It really can get to a hurting feeling inside due to how strong I love them all.

Tenderoni, you've got to be.

The Wizard Of Oz" has secrets that are just too much. Or "Peter Pan" – the whole 'lost boys' thing is just incredible. They’re not childlike at all, they’re really, really deep; you can rule your life by them. Or say 'child-like', because children are the most brilliant people of all, that’s why they relate to those stories so well. Fairy-tales are wonderful.

Love, joy and peace for the world, that’s what I want...peace for the world and love.

I just want to bring the world together. Togetherness is what I want for this planet.

If you're satisfied with everything you're just going to stay at one level and the world will move ahead.
