First of all, I'm no better than the next person.

Many years ago, but not so long ago, there were those who said, 'Well, you have three strikes against you: You're black, you're blind and you're poor,' But God said to me, 'I will make you rich in the spirit of inspiration, to inspire others as well as create music to encourage the world to a place of oneness and hope, and positivity.' I believed Him and not them.

Just because a record has a groove don't make it in the groove.

I see the light in your smile.

When you feel your life's too hard, just go have a talk with God. Well, he's the only free psychiatrist that's known throughout the world.

If you think of every single continent there is, on every continent, there is something, a natural resource that every continent has, or sources, that they can really survive with that, or they can trade with that. But a lot of the developed nations have taken those things from those places and have claimed it and, therefore, they're dependent on those other nations.

I guess people expect or figure me to be a lot of different things.
