I wake up from dreams and go, 'Wow, put this down on paper.' The whole thing is strange. You hear the words, everything is right there in front of your face. ... I am always writing a potpourri of music. I want to give the world escapism through the wonder of great music and to reach the masses. ... And I remember going to the record studio and there was a park across the street and I'd see all the children playing and I would cry because it would make me sad that I would have to work instead.

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

When the body breaks down and you start to wrinkle, I think it's so bad.

Love transcends international boundaries. It heals the wounds of racial hatred, prejudice, bigotry and ignorance.

My attitude is if fashion says it's forbidden, I'm going to do it.

I rememeber one time we were getting ready to go to South America and everything was packed up and in the car ready to go and I hid and I was crying because I really did not want to go, I wanted to play. I did not want to go.

We listen, we watch, we learn. We open our hearts and we open our minds, open our souls.
