You must love and care for yourself, because that's when the best comes out.

I don't like to dwell on the past.

I want to know what the difference between the essence of a man and woman is.

I believe in prayer and in strong belief.

On board the new Ironsides, I had the Marine guard stationed at the after gun, thirty-five in number, and I think it was conceded that no gun of that heavy battery was worked more efficiently than the "Marine gun" as it was called.

I never had that thing about being black. If the whole world was like that, maybe there would be more harmony and love.

I think there are people that still hold on that like Heavy Metal like a bit of what is going on now, but it isn't all of what they love and which goes on and it's the same with me... There's still a lot of Ray Charles, Sam Cooke songs that I still happen to like a lot, but then there are a lot of Madonna and... a lot of the female singers that I like as well, but it's like liking it with different emotions, you know.
