Such a simple thing, kindness. Such a simple thing. A nice word of encouragement, given when needed. An act of friendship. A passing smile.

You can't blend in when you were born to stand out.

Courage. Kindness. Friendship. Character. These are the qualities that define us as human beings, and propel us, on occasion, to greatness.

Whenever there is a conflict between being right and being kind, if possible, choose being kind.

I wish everyday could be Halloween. We could all wear masks all the time. Then we could walk around and get to know each other before we got to see what we looked like under the masks.

Freddie Green has been my right arm for thirty years. And if he leaves the band one day, I'll probably leave with him.

I think Mr. Wilson will have to be the rest of the way alone.

I've never been a fan of euphemism.

Spare time is like spare change. It's hard to quantify, the definition of that phrase. What do I do when I'm not onstage singing, or sleeping, with or without someone else? I watch movies.

I mean, I must confess I don't own Harry Potter DVDs. My parents do. They have them all. And they like watching them.

Take all the hype out of the exercise and think of it as brushing your teeth.
