I work hard to let my wife know how much I love her. I try to do that every day.

There's two times of year for me: Football season, and waiting for football season.

You gotta laugh and love and take all life has to give. You gotta live and learn so you can learn to live.

When I was growing up, I always knew that if I ever got anything, I was going to give back as much as I can. I learned that all you have to be willing to do is give your time.

You gotta love and learn and learn to live.

I think people who go out and tell you how much they're gonna change things are the people who end up being just another whatever. I'm never trying to change anything. That's not for me.

It was important to me to find a label that wouldn't back out after a first single. Everyone's so used to hearing me with Hootie, they're going to be skeptical.

We went to church every Sunday. When I was a kid, the only time I sang was around my family.

I don't think I get the respect as a singer. With this record, I wanted to bring respect to my band.

I'm a kid who grew up in an all African-American neighborhood and got into schools and aspired to just be me, and didn't worry about labels or anything. Just wanted to be a success at what I did.

Find something that makes you want to give and give and give 'til it hurts.

Never loan your heart to hatred

The Lord doesn't always make our paths smooth sailing, but He does make it possible to rise above adversity.

Well, best to remain vigilant. It’s when everything is calm that you need to be most alert.

We may smile and the dog may wag the tail, but in essence, we have a set program and those programs are similar across individuals in the species.

By disciplining and training the mind to focus on one thing, we gain control of perception; we learn to grab it and put it someplace we want it to be.

Doing the right thing daily, compounds over time.

If there was any other place I would live, other than Miami, it would be California. It's beautiful. The weather is just gorgeous, I love being here, too.

Jeez, someone needs to push the reset button on this planet.

When politics promote hate, it becomes a rule, and populist provocation becomes standard. It has been the same throughout the entire history of humanity.

If only it was effortless to understand you because if it wasn't so. . .there wouldn't be any point to be by your side... —kakeru manabe
