When you play music with someone who has a heart rather than playing with someone who is just doing it for money or is cynical it makes all the difference.

I would like to involve myself in some black music. I would like to do some blues and some gospel music. I want to try stuff from other genres and try to widen my musical base.

Still...you turn me on

There is no standing still because time is moving forward.

The greatest music is made for love, not for money.

Making a comeback is one of the most difficult things to do with dignity.

Music is an emotional experience, and that is what imprints itself on the soul.

I think for me, any great art is art which communicates human emotion.

I don't think art is a goal orientated business. I don't do things for the challenges, I only do them because I love them, I'm not really a goal orientated, achiever type of person.

I feel with ELP that I wasn't making the most of my life and I wasn't making the most of my creativity. I was marking time. I don't want to do that. Life is to short.

To make art you need to be inspired.

A leader’s skills take him to people, but his character brings people to him.

O my Courageous Sister! You have to become the beacon of hope for all women around you and then for the whole society.

Only in thought is man a God; in action and desire we are the slaves of circumstance.

Elvis Presley is all there is. There just ain't no more. Everything starts and ends with Elvis. He wrote the book. He is everything to do and not to do in the music business.

Only He who really lived a human life (and I presume that only one did) can fully taste the horror of death.

Hard times build determination and inner strength. Through them we can also come to appreciate the uselessness of anger.

Gain confidence and you banish fear.

Whatever aspect of life you apply it to, making change takes courage.

... religion is a crutch, and only the crippled need crutches.

The ultimate date for me would be with someone fantastic, fun and great - and we'd go to the Lennox Lewis/Mike Tyson fight.
