Dance brings us all together.

No matter what class you're from - uptown or downtown - when you're in the dancehall everyone's equal, and it's how you choose to express yourself that makes you stand out.

Without liberals we wouldn't have unions. We wouldn't have environmental protections. We wouldn't have seat belts or birth control or the ACLU! Any of these things!

But I'm going to be a real good boy and take it day by day and try to concentrate on what's most important to me, and that's offering women a service.

The greatest mistake is in not being aware that others are Christ. There are very many people who will not discover it until their last day.

Okay... That's still blind-making.
