People know me for up-tempo songs because of my hits.

I was just about 6 weeks old when we moved to Detroit.

I never thought I'd get a chance to sing with Wilson Pickett but we did.

The groups, though, were my inspiration way back then. I liked Frankie Lyman and the Teenagers.

You give me the duty to write about love

The most powerful force on earth is residing in your heart

...[T]he mechanics of life should never be allowed to interfere with living.

Live together like brothers and do business like strangers.

IF you Salute your work,You do not have to salute anybody. IF you pollute your work,You have to salute everybody.

Persistence is the measurement of your belief in yourself.

Dumbledore had not raised his voice, he did not even sound angry, but Harry would have preferred him to yell; this cold disappointment was worse than anything.

In baseball you hit your home run over the right-field fence, the left-field fence, the center-field fence. Nobody cares. In golf everything has got to be right over second base.

I just owe it to myself, to God and to everybody who supports me and people who don't even know me yet, to just be fully intentional and authentically real with everything I do, say and create.

We have been just going like a house afire, and we couldent see any reason why we shouldent keep right on burning. Our tastes were acquired on credit, and we wanted to keep on enjoying 'em on credit.
