I'm just going to continue to do the music that I love..

My success wasn't based on how I could push down everybody that was around me. My success was based on how much I could push everybody up..

What I do affects others; what others do affects me..

I just can't read music..

I froze in time! And I thought, "My God... I'm free!".

I'm an unpure purist, something like that..

When I work I always find something..

I'm happy to say I am a Harrison-Kreps-Keynesian..

I say the very things that make the greatest StirAn' the most interestin' things, are things that did n't occur..

Where I live, everything is very small..

We've got to change our regulatory system..

Where there is change, there is happiness.

Doing it wrong fast is at least better than doing it wrong slowly..

I've been through a lot as far as love..

My mouth was always my weapon. I've become quieter now. It's possible to put things very clearly, concisely and sharply, even when you do it quietly..

True love comes when it will, not when it's called..

You got to be right with yourself before you can be right with anybody else..

I like things to reverberate, to be suggestive..

L.A. I could live without..

I take all of my music seriously and personally..

She'd loved him as much as he'd let her. More than he'd let her..
