I really do seek to create music that is timeless, ... Each project takes on its own life, and the songs from A Time To Love are the most appropriate for the statement I wanted to make.

Ability may get you to the top, but it takes character to keep you there.

Music is a world within itself, with a language we all understand.

Just because a man lacks the use of his eyes doesn't mean he lacks vision.

We all have hearts.... If you have a heart, love somebody. If you have enough heart, love everybody.

Music, at its essence, is what gives us memories. And the longer a song has existed in our lives, the more memories we have of it.

It feels better to love than to hate.

There may be a brighter star. But through my eyes the light of you is all I see.

You can't base your life on other people's expectations.

What I'm not confused about is the world needing much more love, no hate, no prejudice, no bigotry and more unity, peace and understanding. Period.

I am what I am. I love me! And I don't mean that egotistically - I love that God has allowed me to take whatever it was that I had and to make something out of it.

I don't want realism. I want magic. I live magic. I am magic.

Where everyone wants to be a leader, it makes one a follower to want to be a leader, and a leader to know what to follow.

If you are brave too often people will come to expect it of you.

Nutrition . . . has been kicked around like a puppy that cannot take care of itself. Food faddists and crackpots have kicked it pretty cruelly . . .

Satan will give you a little taste, then he'll move in with rapid speed.

Always a chancer, always lucky, he'd fall into a river and come out dry, with fish in his pockets.

Aren't you ashamed, you who walk backward along the whole path of existence, and blame me for walking backward along the path of the promenade?

The middle age of buggers is not to be contemplated without horror.

I dropped out of college my junior year to do saturday night live, and I didn't even consult my parents. They were very supportive because they had no choice.

I was really happy with it, if I'm honest. I've been kicked out of a few parties, but it's fun when you get kicked out. Being told to leave is great. 'Get out you're too pissed', 'Wicked'.
