I cannot be what I am not.

Being honest may not get you a lot of friends but it’ll always get you the right ones.

Count your age by friends, not years. Count your life by smiles, not tears.

Being honest may not get you a lot of friends but it’ll always get you the right ones

Strawberry fields forever

Strawberry Fields is anywhere you want to go

Everything will be okay in the end. If it's not okay, it's not the end.

When you do something noble and beautiful and nobody noticed, do not be sad. For the sun every morning is a beautiful spectacle and yet most of the audience still sleeps.

Time you enjoy wasting, was not wasted.

We live in a world where we have to hide to make love, while violence is practiced in broad daylight.

You don't need anybody to tell you who you are or what you are. You are what you are!

That amazing time in our lives is gone, and will never return. All the beautiful possibilities we had then have been swallowed up in the flow of time.

It holds for good polity ever, to have that outwardly in vilest estimation, which inwardly is most dear to us.

I'm not Bill Evans. I'm not Keith Jarrett. I'm basically a singer who plays along with his voice.

Some people even think I wear a wig. Do they think I went into a salon one day and said, Can you please screw this up really bad?

It is upon each soul to recognize its limit.

I don't need a reason to kill myself-I need a reason not to.

America is White and Black and Latino and Asian. America is mixed. America is immigrants.

You see that a handful of times every year where a person that hasn't been playing that well pops up and wins.

You know, what a producer does is one of the great mysteries in life, so anyone can be one.

And my life went to pieces, like a love letter in the rain.
