I try to tell a story musically in a song.

You're the first, the last, and my everything and the answer to all my dreams. You're my sun, my moon, my guiding star, my kind of wonderful, that's what you are

There's people making babies to my music. That's nice.

I went to jail at 16 for stealing tires off Cadillacs. When I got out I said, Never again.

Disco deserved a better name, a beautiful name because it was a beautiful art form. It made the consumer beautiful. The consumer was the star.

I'm very happy with this new record. It's dealing with different aspects of love-it's me making a statement about people doing something with their lives. It is about caring for others.

The cops picked me up for attempted murder. I can still see the detectives, licking their chops. Thought they had me. Two weeks later, the cat came out of a coma and told the truth. I was innocent.

I quit high school on my birthday. It was my senior year and I didn't see the point. This was 1962, and I was ready to make music.

Everything is in you, Sad, Joy, Mercy... Those you think of, you feel... when you feel, you act... So be wise in thinking....

If I may venture to be frank I would say about myself that I was every inch a gentleman.

I want to take back at least half of the “I love you”s, because I didn’t mean them as much as the other ones.

Civilization is in a race between education and catastrophe. Let us learn the truth and spread it as far and wide as our circumstances allow. For the truth is the greatest weapon we have.

That made me feel good, not to go to a resort where outside the door is extreme poverty

For me, I'm a skateboarder.If I'm not skating then I'm going crazy. The big deals, if I'm not skating, it's not worth it.

I must say that the tasks of the youth in general, and of the Young Communist Leagues and all other organisations in particular, might be summed up in a single word: learn.
