You have to give love to get love.

I just want to say that dreams do come true. Don't ever give up on your dreams. Sometimes it just takes a little bit longer for some of us.

I've been influenced heavily by great soul artists. I see myself as a soul singer. I sing from my soul - I write from my soul.

I don't like labels, but I do have blue eyes and I'm soulful, so what am I going to do?

I write songs like "The Sweetest Love." Of course I'm a little cheesy. Love is cheesy. Love is corny. But it's also the greatest feeling in the whole world.

Some people go to college. For me I studied music my whole life. That was my college.

I really try to wake up with my music the same as I do with my life, and that is with no expectations. I just feel what I feel that day and follow it.

My songs don't play on pop radio; they play on black radio.

I was seven years old the first time I saw Michael Jackson. That changed everything.

I grew up in a Hollywood family with money, so money is not the reason I make music. I'm as Hollywood as it gets. Not internally but externally - that's my bloodline.

Life is full of constant ups and downs, and all I ask for is redemption in the end.

Voting for the Green Party is how you say 'Up Yours!' to the Republicans and Democrats.

Everything that has ever happened to me is still all with me.

Mother Nature is challenging enough, let's keep oil drilling out of the picture.

It was a woman who drove me to drink - and you know I never even thanked her.

If I could find them (assemblages) in nature I would photograph them. I make them because through photography I have a knowledge of things that can't be found.

"Lawyers Are": By law's dark by-ways he has stored his mind with wicked knowledge on how to cheat mankind.

I had girlfriends, but settling down was the last thing on my mind.

When to the cross I turn my eyes,And rest on Calvary,O Lamb of God, my sacrifice,I must remember Thee.

Football is not played on paper, it is played on a pitch. This game is not mathematics and in football, two plus two very rarely equals four - it's usually three or five.

If you really know... what you want and how to get there, then everything else really falls into place.
