I was very surprised when I heard that I had been chosen to receive the James Cardinal Gibbons Award..

If you want something to play with go find yourself a toy, baby, my time is too expensive and I'm not a little boy..

My voice belongs to me, from God. People will comment, "Your voice helped me through." Maybe it’s God in me, because I don’t take credit for that..

So now I have a collection of poetry by Aaron Neville and I give it to people I want to share it with. I'd like to publish it someday..

It's a 360-degree sound experience. Like you're in the middle of the band. A lot of people have the technology to play the format, so why not put it ….

Sometimes I sing along in the car, if something good is playing like Marvin Gaye..

Every morning I wake up and thank God..

The extras are a nice bonus feature, but the main incentive is the musical experience..

When I record something, I'll take a drive and just listen.

If you are serious, don't play with my heart, it makes me furious..

I think things happened the way they did for a reason.

Until I went to rehab, I didn't understand what it did..

At dances when I was a little kid, Art would be up there singing while I'd be dancing with some girl a foot taller than me..

If you had told me I'd be making 62 tomorrow, I'd say you were lying..

I feel it was just a few years ago I was running around in short pants.

I really like listening to music in my car..

My friends and I were wild and we liked to joy-ride..

I always loved Sam Cooke, because he seemed very versatile. He sang gospel, soul, blues, pop music.

It's a thanksgiving to God. It's something I have wanted to do for a long time, but the record company wasn't ready for it. So I did it myself..

Me and my partners had been stealing cars for a while..

I owe it all to Jesus..
