I remember the beginnings of the Kurzweil reading machine. I was one of the first to meet Ray Kurzweil and purchase the reading machine in Boston. To think that the machine was at least two and a half large suitcases at the time, and now you have a camera and it takes a picture and you have sound.

One of many joyful moments with BB King was him letting me play 'Lucille.' ...The thrill will never be gone.

Heaven help the roses if the bombs begin to fall

You know, I have seven children, so I guess I know some things about life.

When you believe in things that you don't understand, then you suffer.

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.

I am what I am. I love me! And I don't mean that egotistically - I love that God has allowed me to take whatever it was that I had and to make something out of it.
