A star can never die. It just turns into a smile and melts back into the cosmic music, the dance of life.

No one should judge what I've done with my life, not unless they've been in my shoes every horrible day and every sleepless night.

I'm trying to imitate Jesus in the fact that he said to be like children, to love children, to be as pure as children and to make yourself as innocent and to see the world through eyes of wonderment and the whole magical quality of it all.

That’s why I hate to take credit for the songs I’ve written. I feel that somewhere, someplace, it’s been done and I’m just a courier bringing it into the world.

Don't blame it on the sunshine. Don't blame it on the moonlight. Blame it on the boogie.

People write negatives things, cause they feel that's what sells. Good news to them, doesn't sell.

I know a tree feels it when the wind blows through it. It probably goes, 'Chhhhhh, this is wonderful.' And that's how I feel when I'm singing some songs. It's wonderful.
