This day is the most recent set of events to define you. Every day changes your life. Every last one.

Music is my enchanter, the seducer of my emotions, the fire and ice that moves me.

I survive on moments of make-believe happiness.

Imagine fantasy and pretend as neither fantastical nor pretended.....and then believe it.

Family gathersto share good noise and good food.Gratitude abounds.

It is an incapacitating emotion one feels upon hearing the whispered words "I still love you" after deeply hurting that soul. Forgiveness isn't weakness.It is power.

Reality is a background so painted over by our own perceptions that every eye sees the world differently.

Theories look great on paper until reality scribbles all over the page.

Dreams become reality once the dreamer goes beyond imagining and acts them out.

I can and will improve the world.I will smile, show kindness, and be grateful.I refuse to be unhappy.

Giddy is a grin and giggles and that glint of goofiness in your gaze.

If you have a good idea, use it so that you will not only accomplish something, but so that you can make room for new ones to flow into you.

I am not where I am because of luck. I am where I am because I took risks others weren’t willing to take. The world rewards the risk takers. It always has. It always will.

The first stage of any development is infancy.

I am lucky enough to live in Miami so dinner on the beach with people I love is one of my favorite ways to relax.

If I wanted to fight to make a better world racially, I wouldn't be in the music business. You dig, if I were going to be a freedom fighter music is the wrong field.

About the time we get old enough to be as wicked as we want to be, we don't want to be so very wicked after all.

Practice love and self-acceptance and you'll have an absolutely beautiful life.

To you I belong.My heart beats only for you.No other will tempt me,from this day and beyond.To you I belong.

The God to whom depth in philosophy bring back men's minds is far from being the same from whom a little philosophy estranges them

I am not truly free if I am taking away someone else's freedom, just as surely as I am not free when my freedom is taken from me. The oppressed and the oppressor alike are robbed of their humanity.
