I'm just looking for interesting roles and giving acting the respect it deserves.

Love , creativity, and opportunity is in the air. Take it in and do your thing.

Music is my life, it is a reflection of what I go through.

One day we're going to watch people fight to the death, like Roman times. Instead of being in a coliseum, we're going to watch it on TV.

I've woken up from dreams and the whole song is there. I'm listening to it in my dreams. I consciously have to wake myself up and get a tape recorder because I hear it like a record.

There's certain things in life that I love. One is architecture. And music, culture, food, people. New Orleans has all of that.

I am not trying to change the world. I am just offering my gift that God gave me, and if somebody is moved by it, that's beautiful.

It is a common remark that men talk most who think least; just as frogs cease their quacking when a light is brought to the water-side.

PC stuff just lowers the general acceptance of good work and replaces it with bogus poetry that celebrates values that in themselves are probably quite worthy.

I was seven years old when I learnt the back somi on beam.

One lives with so many bad deeds on one's conscience and some good intentions in one's heart.

Wind moving through grass so that the grass quivers. This moves me with an emotion I don't even understand.

It's sometimes said that I'm rebellious and I do things to push people's buttons, but I just like the challenge.

Nonviolent action, the Negro saw, was the way to supplement, not replace, the progress of change. It was the way to divest himself of passivity without arraying himself in vindictive force.

Every word was once a poem. Every new relation is a new word.
