Sneaking out the back door to hand out with those hoodlum friends of mine.

Ability may get you to the top, but it takes character to keep you there.

Music is a world within itself, with a language we all understand.

Just because a man lacks the use of his eyes doesn't mean he lacks vision.

We all have hearts.... If you have a heart, love somebody. If you have enough heart, love everybody.

Music, at its essence, is what gives us memories. And the longer a song has existed in our lives, the more memories we have of it.

It feels better to love than to hate.

There may be a brighter star. But through my eyes the light of you is all I see.

You can't base your life on other people's expectations.

What I'm not confused about is the world needing much more love, no hate, no prejudice, no bigotry and more unity, peace and understanding. Period.

I am what I am. I love me! And I don't mean that egotistically - I love that God has allowed me to take whatever it was that I had and to make something out of it.

I feel the only thing you can do about life is to preserve it, by art if you're an artist, by children if you're not.

I am sort of an adventurer. I like to explore new places. I don't get to travel as often as I would like but I love it.

Let no man think that he is loved by any who loveth none.

The mind is always the patsy of the heart.

Governments don't want a population capable of critical thinking, they want obedient workers, people just smart enough to run the machines and just dumb enough to passively accept their situation.

Make sure that when you agree with everything that's being said and when you feel passionate about your future, you take it into your hands. You do something.

Emotions are the color of the soul.
