Just because it makes you feel uncomfortable doesn't mean it has to change.

I don't like stereotypes - no kind of stereotypes.

I been in the blues all my life. I'm still delivering 'cause I got a long memory.

Kindness is better and can be more powerful than force. Kind words may unlock an iron door.
