We stay strong. We stay positive, keep our heads up, love one another, spread love. The Devil can't win when you have God on your side.

If I wasn't my age, I would turn a flip. I would do some cartwheels. That's how I feel.

I'm singing these songs to inspire you, to keep you going, to lift you up and give you a reason to get up in the morning

There's still injustice happening in my world. I sing my songs at concerts and I'm so grateful that the people are ready to hear them.

I won't wear rings and jewelry on the stage because I don't want you looking at my hands. I want you hearing what I'm saying.

I have to pinch myself sometimes. It's unbelievable, but it's not. Because I know that this would not be happening if it hadn't been for Dr. Martin Luther King.

Well Lord, I'm still on the case. I'm still doing what Dr. King and Pops want me to do. I'm still on that freedom highway, and I'm going to walk on it until Dr. King's dream is realized.

I never sang for a Grammy, for money, for fame. That's my whole purpose for singing: for people, for the fans.

There is a great feeling in a small venue, with the closeness of the people and the intimacy.

Music is such a joy, just an absolute joy.

I have fun just about everywhere I go.

There seems to be a terrible misunderstanding on the part of a great many people to the effect that when you cease to believe you may cease to behave.

I really like guys who have confidence, but not the cocky over-the-top confidence.

We need a renaissance of wonder.

Yes, I have patterns of love addiction. But I'm a woman. Of course I do.

I hope to bring much more attention to important issues and change for issues and practices that are harming animals.

Release your majestic mind, embrace your untamed inner spirit. Break free from captivity, avoid society.. You were born to be free.

I went to the Paradise Restaurant on 49th Street and Broadway which was where they were playing, and I sat in.

They don't know that I'm already asking for the moon.

Perfection does not exist. It's more important to be happy with the human being you are.

I connect the psychedelic dimension to the dimension of inspiration and dream.
