I don't eat a lot of junk food anymore, but I sure remember it. I used to go through boxes of Little Debbies. I liked Star Crunch, and of course those oatmeal pies.

Tolerance, compromise, understanding, acceptance, patience - I want those all to be very sharp tools in my shed.

On a good day I think I'm handsome, on an average day I'm average. I'm a man's man so I don't necessarily know how cute we're supposed to be.

I'm a little lavish I must admit. But I'm not really concerned with money. Being rich is not my goal, being wealthy is.

I think I'll always be famous. I just hope I don't become infamous.

I remember when, I remember, I remember when I lost my mind! There was something so special about that place...even your emotions had an echo...and so much space!

Music definitely gave me a focus. I was an artist without an outlet. Let's just say if I was not famous, I could have been infamous. I could've had my own episode of 'American Gangster.'

Women are our most miraculous muse, an enchanted intangibility that encourages all art.

My relationship with food is intimate. I don't eat and tell.

I have never taken the high road, but I tell other people to 'cause then there's more room for me on the low road.

There's a lot to be concerned about; there's more to be hopeful for.

Music is truly the universal language, and when it is excellently expressed how deeply it moves our souls

Negative talking is contagious.

EXTREME LUXURY ISN'T THE MOST BLING-BLING, IT'S EXTREME REFINEMENT, WHICH IS COUTURE AT ITS FINEST.

If we confront anti-Semitism ... if we combat it individually and as a society, and use whatever platform we have to denounce it, we can stop the spread of this madness.

I grew up in the Midwest and had a lot of exposure to big religion. I went to church every Sunday - my mother even sang in the choir - and most families I knew where practicing Christians.

There are leaders who know that however furious the debate, there are good men and women in all population groups - amongst blacks, amongst whites, and amongst Afrikaans and English speaking people.

The ethic behind songs of conscience doesn't change, even though the issues are altered from generation to generation.

You see, I don't believe in that grabbin' and grabbin' and stuffin yourself and not givin' anythin' or puttin' it back.
