I'm not into the money thing. You can only sleep in one bed at a time. You can only eat one meal at a time, or be in one car at a time. So I don't have to have millions of dollars to be happy. All I need are clothes on my back, a decent meal, and a little loving when I feel like it. That's the bottom line.

You ask me what I'd like to do that I haven't done and I say 'Nothin'!' I haven't any mountains to climb or oceans to swim. I've been an extremely blessed individual. ... I'm not clamorin' for more trinkets. If I were to die tomorrow, I could say I've had a good life.

Other arms reach out to me, Other eyes smile tenderly, Still in peaceful dreams I see, The road leads back to you.

Even though I'm not Jewish...Israel is one of the few causes I feel good about supporting.

I don't know what would have happened to me if I hadn't been able to hear.

I don't think any of us really knows why we're here. But I think we're supposed to believe we're here for a purpose.

What I've got to live up to, is being myself. If I do that, the rest will take care of itself.
