James Brown, Ray Charles, Jackie Wilson, Chuck Berry and Little Richard - I think they had strong influences on a lot of people, because these were the guys who really got rock'n'roll going. I like to start with the origin of things, because once it gets along it changes. It's so interesting to see how it really was in the beginning.

I will be acquitted and vindicated when the truth is told.

The magic, the wonder, the mystery and the innocence of a child’s heart are the seeds of creativity that will heal the world.

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

I believe in God.....I gain strength from God. I believe in Jehovah, God, very much.....I believe in God and love God.

I love my fans to pieces. They're with me. They get it, you know? They get what I'm saying.

If you came to see the truth, the purity, it's here inside a lonely heart.
