If you give it good concentration, good energy, good heart and good performance, the song will play you.

If it doesn't come from your heart, music just doesn't work.

Most of our stuff was trial and error. You live with a tape recorder, you turn it on, you play the song and you listen to it.

Songs don't wear out. Good songs are good now. If they were a comfort during those hard times in the past, they'll be a comfort in today's age.

If you pour some music on whatever's wrong, it'll sure help out.

The power of music just kinda kills all those ills; it cures everything and you’ve got more energy just from the music. And, I’ve never seen it fail. It’s good for ya; real good for ya.

Those bad times are important. They give you a chance to practice, listen, take stock, have a life, get your feet back on the ground, and maybe you'll live to tell the story.

Music is the language of heaven.

A friend of mine took me to Memphis advised me that I should get in the musicians' union. He gave me a set of drums and said, Stay on the job, son.

The crowd is just as important as the group. It takes everything to make it work.

Drums just always sounded like the most fun part of that good music for me.

In a surreal gift from the universe, time both stands still and flies past you in that singular moment when you find out someone you once loved is gone.

If every community acts collectively, the city shall be clean.

However confused the scene of our life appears however torn we may be who now do face that scene it can be faced and we can go on to be whole.

Once our storyline gets under way, I just hope people don't throw cabbages at me in the market.

The innocence of childhood is like the innocence of a lot of animals.

I've been a photographer all these years... I haven't been in my own darkroom for 10 years.

I've just got to let my teammates know in practice, without even telling them, that I don't think I'm ahead of anybody.

Physically you are identical with and inseparable from the cosmic material substance, and socially you are inseparable from the large mass of humanity.

Stimulate don't Annihilate.

Was it always my nature to take a bad time and block out the good times, until any success became an accident and failure seemed the only truth?
