Always believe in yourself. No matter who's around you being negative or thrusting negative energy at you, totally block it off. Because whatever you believe, you become.

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

Children show me in their playful smiles the divine in everyone. This simple goodness shines straight from their hearts and only asks to be loved.

Never ask for 'a beer.'

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

I am a slave to the rhythm. I am a palette. I just go with the moment. You've got to do it that way because if you're thinking, you're dead. Performing is not about thinking; it's about feeling.

I don't care if the whole world is against you or teasing you or saying you are not gonna make it. Believe in yourself, no matter what.
