Each day I take time out to study the Bible, no matter where I am. The teachings of the Bible have added a new dimension to my life. It, somehow, makes me whole.

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

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

Truth always prevails. And I believe in that. I believe in God.

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

I'm a person of the arts. I love the arts very, very, very much. And ah, I'm a musician, I'm a director, I'm a writer, I'm a composer, I'm a producer, and I love the medium. I love film very, very much. I think it's the most expressive of all of the art mediums.

Being on stage is magic. There's nothing like it. You feel the energy of everybody who's out there. You feel it all over your body. When the lights hit you, it's all over, I swear it is.
