I wrote music as soon as I knew notation..

I do not sing politics. I merely sing the truth..

Do for yourself, for no one else will..

You don't get nothing and like it..

When you start somewhere, you've started..

There must be nothing in my daily conduct that, copied by another, could lead that one into unholiness..

There are things that inform the works, but that doesn't go anywhere near what you're actually looking at..

It's not about how much work you're doing. It's about what work you're doing and how you're doing the work..

If we can forgive everyone, regardless of what he or she may have done, we nourish the soul and allow our whole being to feel good. To hold a grudge….

If a man does not keep pace with his companions, perhaps it is because he hears a different drummer. Let him step to the music which he hears, howeve….

The public makes a hit..

It's not how much you make, it's how much you save..

The great appear great to us..

What gets celebrated gets replicated..

America was built on her citizens..

I never dreamed I would do Westerns..

Music has always been a part of my life. I make music all the time..

A mistake made with good in your heart is still a mistake, but it is one for which you must forgive yourself..

I don't really shout that much..

Things that are unknown attract us..

Me? I slept like the dead, which I hoped wasn’t a sign of things to come..
