If you feel like loving me, if you've got the notion, I second that emotion.

One thing I can say about the Motown acts is that we were a family. That's not a myth

Songwriting is my gift from God

And I can say this, most of the people who have recorded my songs are songwriters themselves.

Beethoven was just music, and it didn't matter if he could hear it or not - he could feel it. He could hear it in his mind. He could write it down hearing it in his mind. He was just music. Yeah, he's one of my favorite writers of all times.

That's what love is made of, snakes, snails, and puppy dog tails, sugar, spice, and everything nice.

Put your trust in me, let this love be. This is for real, let time stand still.
