You can’t let your failures define you. You have to let your failures teach you.

Change will not come if we wait for some other person or some other time. We are the ones we've been waiting for. We are the change that we seek.

Yesterday is but a memory, Tomorrow an uncharted course, So live today so it will be a memory without remorse.

I am always really buzzed after each performance, and at around one in the morning, Ill hit a brick wall and need to sleep.

When I die, remember that what you knew of me is with you always. What is buried is only the shell of what was. Do not regret the shell, but remember the man. Remember the father.

I am an anti-imperialist. I am opposed to having the eagle put its talons on any other land.

Action must be taken at once; there is no time to be lost; we shall yet see the oppressors' yoke broken and the fragments scattered on the ground.

Im more a fan of my fans than I think they are of me!
