And the dream we were conceived in will reveal a joyful face... and the world we once believed in will shine again in grace. Then why do we keep strangling life wound this Earth, crucify its soul. Though it's plain to see, this world is heavenly. We could be God's glow... Heal the world.

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

With my music, with what I do, I would like to bring a light into the world.

If politicians can't do it, I want to do it. We have to do it. Artists, put it in paintings. Poets, put it in poems, novels. That's what we have to do. And I think it's so important to save the world.

I think a great artist should be able to create any style, any form, anything from rock to pop to gospel to spiritual, just wonderful music where everybody can sing it.

Music is a mantra that soothes the soul...something our body has to have. It's important to understand the power of music.

Criticizing reporters is like boo-ing at the Special Olympics.
