What is love but a second-hand emotion?

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.

As long as I have people's attention, I can't stop. You can't put the public on hold, because they might not be there when you get back. I have a pathological fear of stopping.

Movies are movies: they take you back in time, and how it still is for some

After I moved with my mother to St. Louis, my older sister and I went to see Ike Turner, who was the hottest then. His music charged me. I was never attracted to him, but I wanted to sing with his band.

I'm not wise, but the beginning of wisdom is there; it's like relaxing into - and an acceptance of - things.

I want to tell people how to live spiritually. After you've bought all your houses and your clothes, you want something bigger.
