Music is the major form of communication. It's the commonest vibration, the people's news broadcast, especially for kids.

I'm not in show business; I'm in the communications business. That's what it's about for me.

The direction for my music is heaven, of course. We gear all things to the realm of heaven - which is the mind, the organized mind.

What love will make you do All the things that we accept Be the things that we regret

I would not be on the level did I not confess that I always have believed that the old Browns were a great team, one of the greatest ever organized.

Universal morality is to be found in little everyday penny-events just as much as in great ones.

Smile, the worst is yet to come.

Lack of consistency is a weakness shared by all nations.
