I am just convinced that people want to see people on TV who are more like themselves.

As long as the music stayed hot and important and good, that there would always be a reason for 'Soul Train'

Love, peace and soul.

There was no match for Barry White. His music is just going to live forever. It's not limited to disco or soul or hip-hop or anything.

When you come up with a good idea, you dont have to do a whole lot. The idea does it for you.

It's always a pleasure to find something that matters.

I always felt a love for music, but I never got my nerve up enough to try a musical instrument in school.

The 'Soul Train' legacy and brand are of the utmost importance to me and to 'Soul Train's' millions of fans. After years of offers, I feel the time is now finally right to pass the torch.

I was never exposed to a great deal of racism, but the Chicago I grew up in was very, very segregated.

When I have a job to do, time means nothing. I lose patience with people who work on a clock.

Either way, it will cost you. You will for pay for your education or pay for your ignorance.

Winning is not always about shining the brightest. Sometimes it's about sharing the light with someone who has been waiting in the shadows all along.

Never forget to express your gratitude for your blessings.

Forty is ... an age at which people have histories and options. At thirty, they had perhaps less history. At fifty, perhaps fewer options.

By the time I finished the book [All Alone in the Universe], Robin Roy was saying, "More pictures!"

The world has its fling at lawyers sometimes, but its very denial is an admission. It feels, what I believe to be the truth, that of all secular professions this has the highest standards.

Everybody wants to be winners - you have to trust that God has a greater plan for this even when you can't see it.
