You've got to validate every day. There are those who just put a stamp on it and say, "This is gonna be a good day and I'm not gonna let anything else make it a bad day."

The test in life nowadays is just trying to keep yourself charged up with enough good feeling. It's like, "OK what am I going to do to feel really good today?" Not like, some chick or a drink.

I don't hate nobody. I hate certain conditions that are inflicted upon the people - and they're helpless with it.

I like to read the 'Financial Times' when I'm traveling. 'Economist.' 'Ad Busters.'

That idea of peace and love toward humanity shouldn't be nationalistic or denominational. It should be a chief concern for all mankind.

I just don't think it's very dignified to ask people to like you. You can just wind up being somebody's ottoman.

I want to be necessary and do good works. I ain't here to waste nobody's time, because I don't want you to waste mine.
