I spent years growing up being told what my sexuality was.

Be good to yourself 'cause nobody else has the power to make you happy.

I still believe that music is one of the greatest gifts that God gave to man.

I've done too many stupid things for there not to be movies made about me when I'm dead, so I might as well write the script.

Change is a stranger you have yet to know.

Without despair, we will share, and the joys of caring will not be erased. What has been, must never end, the joys of caring will not be replace.

Ghosts are those memories that are too strong to be forgotten for good, echoing across the years and refusing to be obliterated by time.

We have lost faith in the formal powers of the mind, not, as some suppose, because our universe is too difficult to grasp, but because we lack the inner principle of order.

There are enormous opportunities to work for a world that is more free, peaceful and just.

And as far as the Disney Concert hall is concerned, it is a wonderful modern structure and I am extremely honored that I had this opportunity to have a concert here.

You peasant swain! You whoreson malt-horse drudge!
